Web-building spiders are a diverse group of arachnids known for their ability to create intricate silk webs. These webs serve various purposes, including trapping prey, providing shelter, and facilitating reproduction. Common types of web-building spiders include orb-weavers, funnel weavers, and sheet weavers, each constructing unique web designs suited to their hunting strategies. The silk produced by web-building spiders is made of proteins and is remarkably strong and elastic. Spiders use specialized glands to spin silk, which can be used for different functions, such as creating draglines or egg sacs. This adaptability makes them effective predators in various environments.
