Cave spiders are a type of arachnid commonly found in dark, damp environments like caves. They belong to the family Uloboridae and are known for their unique adaptations to life in these secluded habitats. These spiders typically have long legs and a pale coloration, which helps them blend into their surroundings. Unlike many other spiders, cave spiders do not produce venom to subdue their prey. Instead, they use their silk to create webs that capture insects. Their diet mainly consists of small invertebrates, making them important for maintaining the ecological balance within their cave ecosystems.
