Filmy Dome Spider
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
