    Eastern Long-legged Cobweaver

    Theridion frondeum is a species of cobweb spider in the family Theridiidae, commonly known as the Eastern Long-legged Cobweaver. It is found in North America, with records from the United States, Canada, and the Bahama Islands. Like other members of Theridiidae, it constructs irregular three-dimensional webs and possesses comb-like structures on its hind legs for silk handling. The species was first described by Nicholas Marcellus Hentz in 1850.
