Uloborus walckenaerius, also known as the feather-legged spider, is a cribellate spider in the family Uloboridae. Like all spiders in this family, they do not have venom glands and immobilize their prey with over 140 m of thread. They are named in honor of Charles Athanase Walckenaer.
It is commonly known as the fluffy hackled orb-web spider.
