Oecobiidae

Oecobiidae, also called disc web spiders, is a family of araneomorph spiders, including about 130 described species. They are small to moderate sized spiders, about 2 to 20 millimetres long combined head and body length, depending on the species. Larger ones tend to be desert-dwelling. The legs are unusually evenly placed around the prosoma; most other spiders have some legs directed clearly forward and the rest clearly backward, or all forward. The first two pairs of legs of many Oecobiids point forward then curve backwards. This gives a scurrying, wheel-like impression that is characteristic of many Oecobiidae, and is helpful as a rough aid to identification in the field.
