Home for an Lattice Orbweaver
I only spotted this little Orbweaver after it ran out of its home for the little planthopper that it snatched up.
""Observations. This species, which is sometimes whitish on the abdomen, is nevertheless very readily recognized. I have seen some specimens larger than the delineation. Its dwellingplace is really beautiful; it is placed above its web, and made of the finest white silk, shining with a satin lustre; its shape is that of an inverted thimble, and it is usually placed under a leaf bent together for the purpose of affording shelter and security."
