Funnel weavers are a type of spider belonging to the family Agelenidae. They are known for their distinctive funnel-shaped webs, which they create in grass, shrubs, or other vegetation. These webs are designed to trap insects, allowing the spider to quickly ambush its prey. These spiders are typically brown or gray and can be found in various habitats around the world. Funnel weavers are not aggressive and usually retreat into their webs when disturbed. They play an important role in controlling insect populations, contributing to the balance of their ecosystems.
