Uloboridae, commonly known as the cribellate spiders, is a family of spiders characterized by their unique silk-spinning abilities. Unlike many other spiders, they do not produce venom to subdue their prey. Instead, they use a specialized silk called cribellate silk, which is fine and fluffy, allowing them to trap insects effectively. These spiders typically build funnel-shaped webs in vegetation or on surfaces. They are found in various habitats around the world, often in gardens and forests. The family includes several genera, with species that exhibit diverse colors and sizes, contributing to the rich biodiversity of the arachnid world.
