Gibbaranea bituberculata
''Gibbaranea bituberculata'' is a species of 'orbweavers' belonging to the family Araneidae subfamily Araneinae.
This species is present in most of Europe.
The adult males of these spiders reach 6–8 millimetres of length, while females are 8–10 millimetres long. They can be encountered in sunny habitats on shrubs, edges and low plants, where they can make their webs near the ground.
Their basic color is very variable, but usually it is brownish, with whitish shades. The cephalothorax is quite broad, with lying down hair. In the female the abdomen is large and spherical, with two small holes. They have eight eyes, with four relatively large eyes in the middle. Chelicerae are short and powerful, with teeth on the inside. The legs are moderately long and quite powerful.
