Field Notes

Description:

Spiders in this family do not have poison glands. They capture prey only rely on wrapping by silk. They build small incomplete orb web, mostly horizontal, usually not as perfect as those built by spiders in other web building families. Some species build web are considered as untidy. They use different type of silk than other spiders, known as cribellate silk which is woolly appearance. Those spiders sometimes find live in group with individual webs loosely connected.
