Abstract
In the studied habitats of Rostov-on-Don, 141 species of spiders from 24 families were recorded. By the number of species, the families Gnaphosidae (22 species), Linyphiidae (19 species), Lycosidae (15 species), Salticidae (15 species) prevail. Twenty species were found in residential buildings. In groves, forest parks, 107 species of spiders from 21 families have been identified. In the city, populations of the karakurt spider (Latrodectus tredecimguttatus), which is dangerous to human health and life, have been found. Further resettlement of the Latrodectus tredecimguttatus within the city of Rostov-on-Don should be expected.
