Meanings
- Any spider of the genus Hyptiotes, especially the small American spider (Hyptiotes cavatus) that lives among the dead branches of evergreen trees. It constructs a triangular web. The spider holds the thread at the apex of the web and stretches it tight, but lets go and springs the net when an insect comes in contact with it.
