Zosis geniculatus is common and easy to recognise. As it is venomless it is a harmless method of controlling insects in your house. It creates a ragged blue grey circular web, with star shaped egg sacs. Insects trapped in the web are rolled with the hind legs and wrapped in silk. The bundle is eventually carried to the hub of the web and sucked dry.
