context_page_description: Stiphidiidae, also called sheetweb spiders, is a family of araneomorph spiders first described in 1917, Most species are medium size and speckled brown with long legs. All members of this family occur in New Zealand and Australia except for Asmea. They build a horizontal sheet-like web under rocks, hence the name "sheetweb spiders".
  The largest of New Zealand's species is Cambridgea foliata, with a body length up to 2.5 centimetres and a span of up to 15 centimetres. Hikers and trampers often find their sheet-like webs that can be up to 1 metre across, but the spider itself is nocturnal, spending the day time inside its web tunnel. It can also be found in gardens and males may enter human homes. Their large size, including mouth parts up to 1 centimetre long, may be intimidating, but it is considered harmless to humans and bites are extremely rare.
