Bowl-and-doily Spiders (Frontinella pyramitela) weave a two-layered web: a bowl-shaped dome suspended above a flat sheet. The spider hides beneath the bowl, safely sheltered, and bites prey that falls into the web from below.

Time well spent, with my new, wee garden pal❤️
#ZebraSpider is native to this area.
Their scientific name derives from salticus, Latin for “jump” & Greek scenicus for “theatrical”.
Their common name is from their striped zebra-like appearance.
