Mastophora leucabulba is a species of orb weaver in the spider family Araneidae. It is found in a range from the United States to Honduras. [1] [2] [3] [4] Like all known species of the genus Mastophora, adult females are bolas spiders, capturing their prey with one or more sticky drops at the end of a single line of silk rather than in a web. Males and juvenile females capture their prey directly with their legs. [5]
