Men also can contribute in the family planning the way women does. Research for the evolution of safe, acceptable, cheap, effective and reversible antifertility agent of plant origin is progressing worldwide. The present investigation deals with contraceptive efficacy of Lygodium flexuosum with its ethanolic extracts on the Wistar rat against control. Spider diversity is studied to explore the spider fauna of Mumbra. This is the attempt made for preparing a systematic list of species. Extensive search revealed 28 species belonging to ten families were recorded in Mumbra -Maharashtra. This represents 16.66 % of the total families recorded in India. Araneidae were the dominant family in this biome, which was composed of Lycosidae as next dominant family, followed by Tetragnathidae , Pholcidae Oxyopidae , Scytodidae, Theridiidae Salticidae and Philodromidae and Eutichuridae was the order of dominance of the characteristic families, of this region. Species abundance are related to grassland with waterlogged areas and mountain site with low inhabitants. Simpson diversity index showed maximum diversity with 20 species is 0.927 for spider in grassland habitat and 0.218 in mountain site. Shannon’s diversity with 20 species is 2.809 in grassland and 1.743 for mountain habitat
