GC-MS analysis of head space extracts from virgin and mated female Argiope bruennichi spiders showed the presence of a compound closely related to the primary metabolite citric acid. Analysis of the mass spectrum and synthesis proved it to be trimethyl methylcitrate which is released only by female virgin spiders that proved to be highly attractive for males in the field. Investigation of cuticular extracts from the spider Argyrodes elevatus by GC-MS revealed the presence of unusual esters not known from spiders before. The mass spectra were analyzed and structural proposals were made. The unknown esters proved to be methyl-branched long-chain compounds with an internal location of the ester functional group. Employing efficient enantiosel...
