Neriene katyae is a species of spider of the genus Neriene . It is endemic to Sri Lanka. [1]
The filmy dome spider is a sheet weaver: a spider in the family Linyphiidae with a holarctic distribution. These spiders construct a dome of fine silk and hang upside-down under it, waiting for their prey.

Neriene is a genus of sheet weavers that was first described by John Blackwall in 1833.
Sexual cannibalism is when a female cannibalizes her mate prior to, or after copulation. It is a trait observed in many arachnid orders and several insect orders. Several hypotheses to explain this seemingly paradoxical behavior have been proposed. The adaptive foraging hypothesis, aggressive spillover hypothesis and mistaken identity hypothesis are among the proposed hypotheses to explain how sexual cannibalism evolved. This behavior is believed to have evolved as a manifestation of sexual conflict, occurring when the reproductive interests of males and females differ. In many species that exhibit sexual cannibalism, the female consumes the male upon detection. Females of cannibalistic species are generally hostile and unwilling to mate; thus many males of these species have developed adaptive behaviors to counteract female aggression.
Neriene peltata is a species of spider belonging to the family Linyphiidae. It has a Holarctic distribution.
Zeritis is a genus of butterflies in the family Lycaenidae. The species of this genus are found in the Afrotropical realm.
Spiders are air-breathing arthropods that have eight legs, chelicerae with fangs generally able to inject venom, and spinnerets that extrude silk. They are the largest order of arachnids and rank seventh in total species diversity among all orders of organisms. Spiders are found worldwide on every continent except for Antarctica, and have become established in nearly every habitat with the exceptions of air and sea colonization. As of July 2019, at least 48,200 spider species, and 120 families have been recorded by taxonomists. However, there has been dissension within the scientific community as to how all these families should be classified, as evidenced by the over 20 different classifications that have been proposed since 1900.

Neriene montana is a species of spider belonging to the family Linyphiidae. With a holarctic distribution, it is found throughout northern Europe.
Frontinella is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by Frederick Octavius Pickard-Cambridge in 1902.
N. montana may refer to:
Erebia neriene is an East Palearctic species of satyrine butterfly found in Altai, Siberia, Ussuri, northern China and Korea.
Paracyphononyx is a genus of spider wasps distributed in the tropics and warmer temperate regions; they differ from other pompilids in that they do not permanently disable the host spider but allow the spider to resume activity after the wasp has laid its egg on the spider while the wasp larva exists as koinobiont ectoparasitoid of the spider.
Neriene digna is a species of sheetweb spider in the family Linyphiidae. It is found in the United States and Canada.
Neriene variabilis is a species of sheetweb spider in the family Linyphiidae. It is found in the United States.
Neriene clathrata is a species of sheetweb spider in the family Linyphiidae. It is found in North America, Europe, North Africa, Caucasus, a range from Russia, China, Korea, and Japan.
Neriene litigiosa, the sierra dome spider, is a species of sheet weaver spider in the family Linyphiidae. It is found in North America and has been introduced into China. This species complex mating system has been under study since 1980 at The University of Montana's Flathead Lake Biological Station by Dr. Paul J. Watson.
