No, grasshoppers cannot spin webs. Spiders, considered arachnids and not insects like a grasshopper spin webs. Not all spiders spin webs, but those that do mainly use them to catch their food. There are other insects , like butterflies and silkworms, that produce a web-like substance. this substance is used to make their cocoons though, not to spin webs.

Yes and no. Trapdoor spiders do not use their silk to make a an actual web.

Trapdoor spiders make burros in the ground, where they can hide and wait for their prey. They usually have a door to the hole, which they can open and grab incests that are walking by. The spiders line the burro and make a hinge for the door using their silk, which holds the burro together and makes it impossible for anything to escape.
