The dwarf sheet spiders (family Hahniidae) are small spiders their bodies are about 2 mm in length. They build extremely delicate webs in the form of a sheet and unlike many spiders the web does not lead to a retreat. The silk used in these webs is so fine that they are difficult to spot unless they are coated with dew. They greatly favor locations near water or near moss and are often found in leaf litter and detritus or on the leaves of shrubs and trees.
