Diluroida

Diluroida is a genus of spiders in the family Linyphiidae, which is commonly known as sheet-web spinners. These spiders are found in the United States and Canada, primarily inhabiting the northeastern regions.

Diluroida spiders are small to medium-sized, typically measuring between 3 and 5 millimeters in body length. They have a brownish-golden hue with distinctive black markings on their bodies. These spiders are primarily ground-dwelling, and their webs are orb-shaped and complex.

The egg sacs of Diluroida spiders are noteworthy for their distinctive shapes and sizes. These sacs are typically spherical in form, ranging from 3 to 6 millimeters in diameter. The spiderlings that hatch from these sacs are initially pale and yellowish in color but gradually darken to the typical adult hue.

Diluroida spiders are known for their behavior of wrapping their silk threads around the eggs to secure the sac. This behavior is a defensive strategy, protecting the egg sac from predators. The women of Diluroida are less numerous than the men within the normal spider population.

Neighboring to Diluroida genus found in North America are similar genera Tenuiphantes and Spinellepactaliphylla. Classification and research regarding Diluroida and related genera remain continuous and more means to get exact results of a species.
