Adult female Nephila clavata (Araneae: Nephilidae), orb-weaving spiders, captured stink bugs Plautia stali without rolling with thread, though N. clavata usually roll their preys with thread. Stink bugs defense themwith unfavored odor. The reason why N. clavata preyed on the stink bugs without winding them might be to make volatilize. Nephila edulis put decaying matters such as dead preys and leaves on their barrier web with attracting prey insects by odor, in addition N. clavipes put the dead stink bugs to attract flies. N. clavata put the stink bugs on their web after feeding, indicating that N. clavata could attract preys such as flies.
