Paraplectana tsushimensis is a spider in the orb-weaver family, Araneidae, native to China, Japan, and Taiwan.

These spiders have bright red or orange bodies with black spots.

Despite its skill for hunting, the ladybird spider will eat nectar as well as insects.

The male ladybird mimic spider has an intricate courtship ritual it uses to attract females during mating season.

Until the eggs hatch, the mother spider will wrap herself around the sac, safeguarding it.
