Strawberry spider

Its web is small and sits low down, usually less than 20 centimetres high.

It hides in a cosy tent of dried leaves that it rolls together into an upside-down cone, right next to its web.

Sometimes the pale spots on its back make the shape of a cross.

Its legs are reddish brown, and the male has darker rings on his legs.

The babies hatch in late summer, spend the winter half grown and are fully grown by the next summer.
