Fecenia ochracea
Raccoon Pseudo-orb Weaver
This is the larger of the two Fecenia species in Singapore. The abdomen is covered by greyish hairs in the males and brownish hairs in females. The anterior dorsum is longitudinally marked with a narrow backward-pointing band. Over most of the posterior dorsum, a series of paired dark patches, each delinated by a narrow anterior white line, are arranged on the posterior dorsum. The pattern suggests a certain similarity with a raccoon tail. Ventrally, the dark-coloured venter is traversed by a pale irregular band.
