Predation on the common house gecko Hemidactylus frenatus by an Asian hermit spider Nephilengys malabarensis in Sri Lanka

The common house gecko Hemidactylus frenatus is a relatively small (SVL 51 mm) arboreal lizard. It is native to south-east Asia with a widespread distribution in the Pacific islands; it has also been introduced widely elsewhere by anthropogenic means (Rodda, 2020). There are numerous records of various species of spider predating lizards (Bauer, 1990; Koch & Arida, 2017; van Blerk et al., 2020; Tripathy & Priyadarshini, 2022), including Hemidactylus sp. (Purkayastha & Sourav, 2011; Lanschi & Ferreira, 2012; Turner, 2018). However, these have not included the Asian hermit spider Nephilengys malabarensis (Araneae: Nephilidae).
