Filmy Dome Spider

Very common, always in the upside down position, makes 3D web. Length: between 1/8 and 1/4 of an inch (not counting legs). Tiny predators eat tiny prey. This species eats small insects, such as mosquitoes and gnats, that get caught in their webs. The web is positioned horizontally, and the spider rests on its underside. When an insect lands on the web, the spider quickly tears a hole in the web from beneath and pulls the insect down and ties it up. Hiding under the web helps the spider to avoid predation.
