Dictyna longispina
Dictyna longispina is a small cribellate spider in the family Dictynidae, described by Emerton in 1888. The species is known from northeastern North America, where it constructs irregular, tangled webs to capture prey. Like other Dictyna species, it possesses a cribellum—a silk-producing organ that generates woolly, adhesive silk. The specific epithet 'longispina' refers to the elongated spines characteristic of this species.
