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 is about equally effective with all sizes of web spiders up to twice "P. labiata"′s size. A female "P. labiata" is effective against insects up to twice "P. labiata"′s size when the insect is stuck in a non-salticid's web, and against insects not in webs and up to "P. labiata"′s size, while "P. labiata" seldom pursues or catches a larger insect in the open. A female "P. labiata" very seldom pursues or catches a larger insect in her own web, and is slightly less effective against smaller insects in "P. labiata"′s web than in other situations. Males are less efficient
