  • Euryopis argentea

    Silver Cobweb Weaver

    Euryopis argentea is a small cobweb spider in the family Theridiidae, first described by Emerton in 1882. It belongs to the subfamily Hadrotarsinae, a group distinguished by their unique hunting behavior. Unlike typical theridiids that construct tangled prey-catching webs, Euryopis species are active ant predators that use silk in a specialized ambush technique. The species has been recorded from the United States, Canada, and Russia (Kamchatka).
