Bowl and doily spider

Frontinella pyramitela

The bowl and doily spider is a species of sheet weaver found in North and Central America. It is a small spider, about 4 mm long, that weaves a fairly complex sheet web system consisting of an inverted dome shaped web, or "bowl", suspended above a horizontal sheet web, or "doily", hence its common name.

Behavior

The spider hangs from the underside of the "bowl", and bites through the web small flies, gnats and other small insects that fall down into the non-sticky webbing. The webs are commonly seen in weedy fields and in shrubs, and may often contain both a male and a female spider in late summer - like many linyphiids, ''Frontinella'' may cohabitate for some time.
