Genus Theridion
My cameras refused to focus on this beautiful little Cobweb Spider at Brighton, Utah because of the shaded area
I was in for most of the photos. While I was shooting, a little boy that came along and asked me what I was doing.
He was frightened when I showed him the spider but after I told him how great spiders were he calmed down. His
parents were very supportive of my views. I still hold to the idea that the cobweb spider family has some of
the most energetic species around--always on the move. There are over 230 species of cobweb spiders
in North America. © Carol Davis, 7-5-2009
