Abstract
The spider Peucetia arabica Simon, 1882 was found among wild plants in Gebel Elba, Red Sea Governorate, Egypt. Its life cycle was studied in laboratory. Males reached maturity after 7 spiderlings instars lasted (308 ± 2.34 days), while females passed through 8 spiderlings instars durated (345 ± 11.5 days). Different instars were reared on different stages of larvae of cotton leaf worm Spodoptera littoralis (Boisd.). Food consumption was also noticed, in addition to, mating behavior was observed.
