Cicurina brevis explained

Cicurina brevis is a species of araneomorph spider in the family Dictynidae.^{[1] [2] [3] [4] [5]} It is found in the USA and Canada. A study from 2024 found this species alive under seasonal snowpack in a region called the subnivium in higher concentrations than it was found in the summer time, indicating a potential seasonal specialization for the winter. ^[6]
