Abstract

The arachnids make up an exclusive predatory group. The eating habit makes the arthropoda to move in search of food or to build snares with its silk threads. In order to know the araneofauna of the State Park “Godoy’s Forest”, pitfall snares were set inside the forest and in the adjacent grass-predominant pasture area. Collections were done every fifteen days in a four-month period. Three hundred and forty-six individuals were collected, belonging to 19 families, the most numerous ones being the Lycosidae and the Lyniphiidae in the pasture areas as well as inside the forest, respectively.
