Web-weaving Spiders make many kinds of webs. The ones that are most commonly seen are the orb webs (which looks something like a polar-projection map grid), tangle webs (which you may find under the bottom shelf of bookcases, between the window and storm window, etc), and sheet webs (some of which end in a funnel mouth where the spider hides). These webs are all intended to catch insects.

Tarantulas do not do makes webs like that. There are some tarantulas that make a sort of sheet of silk directly attached to the ground where the tarantula like to position itself in wait for prey. This structure serves primarily to give the tarantula a place to stand on where it has easy footing. (Tarantula feet all end in two claws that are adapted for holding on to such surfaces.) The area of these "stomping grounds" may be a few dozen times the size of the spider.

The arboreal tarantulas will all make a vertically hanging silken "sock" within which the tarantula rests. The sock will normally be a couple times the length of the tarantula and will fit it fairly snugly.

There are many species of terrestrial tarantulas that dig burrows, and these spider will normally coat the walls of their burrows with silk to improve their footing and to help prevent cave-ins.
