Cyclosa turbinata is a species of orb-weaving spider commonly known as the turban spider. It is characterized by its unique ability to construct a distinctive, cone-shaped web resembling a turban. This spider is typically found in tropical and subtropical regions, where it uses its web to capture small flying insects as prey. The turban spider exhibits remarkable camouflage, as it decorates its web with debris and remains of prey, further enhancing its ability to blend into its surroundings.
