    Gertsch's Triangleweaver

    Hyptiotes gertschi is a cribellate orb-weaving spider in the family Uloboridae, commonly known as Gertsch's Triangleweaver. Like other members of its genus, it constructs a distinctive triangular web—a reduced sector of a typical orb web. The species is one of four Hyptiotes species in North America and is distributed across the United States and Canada, with records from Alberta, British Columbia, and Manitoba.
