They are really neat. They make a giant web. And then they get a leaf and hang it in the middle, curling it around slightly with their webbing so it is rolled up like a little sleeping bag. And they hide in the leaf. It's their cozy home for sleeping and eating. Sometimes, if they get tired of one home, they expand and pull in a second leaf. Maybe they just didn't want to clean the first one!
A leaf spider in our garden. It's web was about 3 feet across. |
