Drapetisca is a genus of dwarf spiders that was first described by Anton Menge in 1866.[2] Females are 4 to 5 millimetres (0.16 to 0.20 in) long, and males are 3 to 4 millimetres (0.12 to 0.16 in) long. They are common on tree trunks from July to September, and they feed on insects and smaller spiders.[3]
