Linyphia triangularis
These are a type of "money spider" and what does this mean? Browsing the internet I´ve got this description: They use a method of dispersal called ballooning. The spider lets out a strand of silk into the air and wind resistance lift the spider into the air and it "flies". At certain times of the year many millions of money spiders use this to move to new areas. This is how spiders occasionally get caught in people's hair - it was thought when this happened the person would be coming into money - hence the name money spider! Isn't that cool?
