''Uloborus plumipes'' is a species of Old World cribellate spider in the family Uloboridae. Common names include the feather-legged lace weaver and the garden centre spider, the latter name being due to its frequent occurrence of this spider in garden centres on the world. The species name is derived from the Latin ''pluma'' "feather" and ''pes'' "foot".

Females grow up to 6mm. They lack venom glands, and are therefore non-venomous. A stabilimentum is sometimes present. Pattern and colouration.. more
