Cattleya alaorii Cattleya alaorii Cattleya alaorii, commonly known as the Laelia alaorii, is a species of orchid endemic to Brazil (Bahia). The species was named after Mr. Alaor Oliveira, former employee at the University of São Paulo at Piracicaba, who first collected this species in a field excursion in the late 1960s. It was discovered in the 1970s in an isolated mountain chain near Itabuna, Bahia state. It grows in the very wet Bahia coastal forests ecoregion of the Atlantic Forest biome ("Mata Atlantica Brasileira"). It is found in rainforests at about above sea level. The plants are epiphytes in tall trees
Portia labiata and from Sagada, both in the Philippines, have slightly different hunting tactics, and Los Baños has some very dangerous prey spiders. In laboratory tests, Los Baños "P. labiata"s rely more on trial and error than Sagada "P. labiata"s in finding ways to vibrate the prey's web and thus lure or distract the prey. Around Los Baños the web-building "Scytodes pallida", which preys on jumping spiders, is very abundant. All members of the genus "Scytodes" spit a sticky gum on prey and potential threats, and this can immobilise a "Portia" long enough for the "Scytodes" to wrap the "Portia" in silk
