Is this sort of center web associated with a genus?
I'd never previously seen them and then saw a couple of times this year.

It may even be associated with species
Essentially every time we have seen this web it has been Mangora gibberosa

Yurika,
I DO see a tiny black stripe down one femur! I'll be. Thanks.
Do you know if this particular tight center web is associated with genus?
