The family Oecobiidae, commonly known as flatmesh or disc web spiders, belongs to the order Araneae. These small spiders are typically found in warm regions and are recognizable by their flattened, circular bodies and unique web structures, often forming small, irregular, sheet-like webs on walls, under rocks, or around human dwellings. Oecobiids are agile hunters that feed primarily on small arthropods, including other spiders, and are known for their rapid, skittering movements. Despite their modest size, they exhibit interesting behavioral adaptations such as defensive spinning when threatened and sometimes communal living in sheltered locations. This family is relatively small but widely distributed, demonstrating the adaptability of these spiders to both natural and urban environments.
