Field Notes

Description:

female - a relatively tiny species (svl 3mm)... will spin web under leaves of trees with a web decoration... the stabilimentum (plural: stabilimenta) in the centre.!
its function is a subject of much debate... but lets not get into that and just enjoy looking at all the tiny beauties of nature as they come.!

Notes:

Araneae; Araneidae; Argiopinae

Your spotting has been nominated for the Spotting of the Week. The winner will be chosen by the Project Noah Rangers based on a combination of factors including: uniqueness of the shot, status of the organism (for example, rare or endangered), quality of the information provided in the habitat and description sections. There is a subjective element, of course; the spotting with the highest number of Ranger votes is chosen. Congratulations on being nominated!
