This study was conducted to rear the spider Thanatus albini (Audouin) (Philodromidae) when fed on different prey under laboratory conditions. The study proved that the spider had six spiderlings for female (90.7 days) and five spiderlings for male (83.45 days) before reaching adult. Obtained data also showed that the first spiderling consumed the largest number of prey (larvae and nymphs of Emboasca sp.), whiie from the second to fifth spiderlings; the individuals fed on the larvae of Acheroia grisella F. for both females and males. On the other hand, the spider females only fed on the larvae of Galleria galleria during the sixth spiderling. However, the life cycle and longevity periods of the spider lasted 90.07, 83. 45 and 196.85 and 39.71 days for female and male, respectively.
