The Four Seasons and Spiders - 3 Autumn

Buchar J., Havel L.

In the autumn, spider species are less active than in the spring. During the former season, a few dominant species build conspicuous webs of three types: two-dimensional orb webs (orb-weaving spiders of the genus Araneus and Metellina), three-dimensional sheet webs (the sheet weaver Linyphia triangularis, also known as the Money Spider) and horizontal funnel webs (funnel weavers of the genus Agelena).
