Sheet Web Weaver
Neriene radiata
While searching for Trashline Orb Weavers along the Lower Emerald Pool trail in Zion National
Park, I found these two lovers whooping it up. I had never seen this species before so it was a real
treat to find them. They were very tiny so it was difficult to get good shots. © Carol Davis, 5-25-2011
This small spider of the family of Sheet Web spiders spins a silky dome and then waits
upside-down underneath it. You can read more about it here on Nature Search.
