The spider also has unique eyes that are affected by their circadian rhythm and imply the existence of an efferent optic nerve[8] within the species' central nervous system.

[4] The venom of Araneus ventricosus has different effects on spider bite victims depending on the bitten animal's taxonomy.

[11] The complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Araneus ventricosus was established and published in 2020, from which it was determined that the spider's codon arrangement was almost the same as Argiope bruennichi.

Since the later generations of this strain of cells were able to maintain the AvFlag tag, it was discovered that the species could potentially be used to produce large quantities of this dragline spider silk.

One specific tubuliform spidroin gene in Araneus ventricosus, TuSp1, has been studied using a long distance polymerase chain reaction.

Through this study, it was found that 1921 amino acid residues with 9 collective repeats can be coded for by the gene's main component.

In noct-diurnal spiders, meaning those active during both the day and night, the blue eye cells have been found to be most responsive to circadian systems.

In the nocturnal Araneus ventricosus, it has then been found that their anterior median eyes are able to change sensitivity in accordance with their circadian rhythm, meaning that the spider likely has an efferent optic nerve.

[8] The central nervous system of Araneus ventricosus contains fused supraesophageal ganglia, which are then composed of substantially-sized clusters of neurons.
