How and Where Can You Find Linyphia hortensis at Different Life Stages
Juvenile Juvenile linyphia hortensis may be found closer to the ground in dense foliage or leaf litter. To find them, carefully examine the underbrush and turn over leaves or decaying wood looking for small, intricate webs.
Adult Adult linyphia hortensis are typically found higher up in vegetation, where they construct their orb-shaped webs. Seek out areas with abundant plant life, and look for the presence of characteristic sheet webs with a slightly domed shape or a funnel where the spider may hide.
