Agelenopsis, commonly known as the American grass spiders, is a genus of funnel weavers. They weave sheet webs that have a funnel shelter on one edge. The web is not sticky, but these spiders make up for that shortcoming by running very rapidly.
The webs, which are large, somewhat concave, mostly horizontal, and sheetlike with a funnel or tunnel located off to one side, are often observed more frequently than the spiders themselves. The webs are found on grass, weeds, and ground covers, etc.
Macro photography is extreme close-up photography, usually of very small subjects and living organisms, in which the size of the subject in the photograph is greater than life size.
