Description

F. coccinea are bright red in color, with a black caudal tubercle. Adults typically grow to 3 to 4 mm long, with females growing slightly larger than males. They have two rows of eyes; two on the top row and six procurved on the bottom. Webs spun by F. coccinea consist of a horizontal sheet of non-sticky silk, and a tangle of stopping threads above. The stopping threads intercept flying prey and cause them to fall into the sheet below, where they are attacked by the spider.
