Bathyphantes weyeri
Wide Shield Sheetweaver
Bathyphantes weyeri is a species of sheetweb spider in the family Linyphiidae, first described by Emerton in 1875. It belongs to a genus of small spiders that construct flat, horizontal sheet webs often accompanied by a dome-shaped retreat. The species is known from the United States, though specific details about its biology and ecology remain poorly documented. Like other linyphiids, it is presumed to be a small-bodied spider that occupies ground-level or low vegetation habitats.
