The '''filmy dome spider''' (''Neriene radiata'') is a [[sheet weaver]]: a [[spider]] in the family [[Linyphiidae]] with a [[holarctic]] distribution. These spiders construct a dome of fine [[spider silk]] and hang upside-down under it, waiting for their prey. It is a preferential host for the kleptoparasitic ''[[Argyrodes trigonum]]''.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Cangialosi |first1=Karen |title=Foraging Versatility and the Influence of Host Availability in Argyrodes Trigonum (Araneae, Theridiidae) |journal=The Journal of Arachnology |date=1997 |volume=25 |issue=2 |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/3705643 |access-date=3 May 2021}}</ref>
