Samples were collected along selected trails and in the area around the base camp. A total of 249 spiders were collected and 13 families of spiders, namely the Family of Agelenidae, Araneidae, Clubionidae, Lycosidae, Oxyopidae, Pholcidae, Pisauridae, Psechridae, Salticidae, Sparassidae, Tetragnathidae, Theraphosidae, and Theridiidae, were recorded. These spiders were found foraging on trees and the ground. Besides the diverse fauna and flora, Fraser's Hill Wildlife Reserve, Selangor is also a famous host to hairy tropical spiders called tarantulas.
