Agelenopsis_pennsylvanica

Grass spiders, also called funnel weaver spiders (family Agelenidae) make flat or cup-shaped sheet webs with a tunnel at one corner that they hide in. The webs are not sticky, but the spiders can move very quickly on them -- dashing out of the tunnel to grab prey that walks on their web.
