About
Neriene peltata (German: Zackenbandgroßweber) is one of the more common species of sheet-weavers in forests around Europe. Its body is only 5mm in length, but that is quite large for a member of Linyphiidae. Neriene peltata weaves a very dense hammock like net in higher bushes and young trees and usually sits on the underside of it or nearby monitoring the signal thread.
Sam says
Once you've spotted this small spider, you will see it everywhere. They are responsible for a lot of the small dense nets you see in German forests. They seem to catch and feed on all sorts of insects around their own size.
