        Many animals are capable of detecting sensory information emitted by predators. When predation risk is high, orb-web building spiders should change its foraging strategy of the web construction. We examined web building behaviors of an orb-web spider, Argiope bruennichi providing sensory information of its predator, a yellow hornet, Vespa simillima. We observed web characteristics after providing sensory information of the yellow hornet (experimental group; N=29) and compared to the control group (no information provided; N=34). We hypothesized that the spiders in the experimental group would decrease investments in its web construction and stabilimentum decoration to avoid being located by the predator. The results rejected our hypothesis. Web and stabilimentum constructions decreased in the course of the experiment in both control group and experimental group. But the differences between control group and experimental group were not significant. The individuals did not reduce its stabilimentum length and did not decrease its web area in spite of sensory information of the predator.
