        abstract = {Spiders are insectivorous predators on earth. Spiders are eight eyes and eight legs small creature. Spiders, are the most common ubiquitous animals on land, constitute an essential portion of the predatory arthropods in several ecosystems. Spiders play an important role in insect pest control without any harm to ecosystem. Regularly use of pesticides in agricultural fields which decreases the spider populations. Spiders are among the most abundant insectivorous predators of Terrestrial ecosystem. 
Spider species abundance in agro-ecosystem can be high as undisturbed natural ecosystem. A survey of Spiders was carried out in Wardha District during October 2024 – October 2025. This article presents a study on the Diversity, distribution and current status of spider families in Wardha District. During the present study I have reported 139 species of Spiders belonging to 14 Families and 43 genera. Spiders of Families Araneidae, Clubionidae, Eresidae, Gnaphosidae, Lycosidae, Oecobiidae, Oxyopidae, Pholcidae, Salticidae, Sparassidae Tetragnathidae, Theridiidae, Thomisidae and Uloboridae were recorded during the investigation. Such surveys are vital for conservation of these creatures in the light of climate change and building a biodiversity base line data of spider fauna of Vidarbha in near future. It is updated checklist of different agro-ecosystems from Wardha District.},
