Unlike the orb web NZ1266 : Spider's web on tree, the sheet webs are densely woven, thin, horizontal sheets which look like silken hammocks often built on stems of grass or low bushes. On this garden conifer the webs stand out on a misty mid-summer morning. Bugs fall onto the hammocks or get knocked down when they collide with a tangle of threads above the sheet.

Sheet webs are usually built by the Linyphiidae. This is the largest family of spiders in the UK, with 280 species. It includes the tiny money spiders said to bring good luck if you find one wandering over you.
