Neriene montana
Neriene montana (syn. Linyphia montana) is a species of spider belonging to the family Linyphiidae.[1] With a holarctic distribution, it is found throughout northern Europe.[1][2] The body length excluding legs is about 4 to 7 mm in both sexes, males having a slimmer abdomen.[1][2] The carapace is dark brown with a darker midline and margins.[1][3] The abdomen is marked with a broad brown folium with pale speckles and small indentations, surrounded by a pale area.[1][3] The legs are yellow-brown with many annulations which, along with its size, help to distinguish N. montana from similar species.[1] It builds a hammock-shaped web among bushes or low vegetation, on tree trunks, or under logs, which it rests beneath.[1] References Wikimedia Commons has media related to Neriene montana.
