Unlike most Spiders, tarantulas do not catch their prey in webs. They find a spot, and just sit and wait. When something appears, they use a burst of speed to grab the victim with it's eight legs, and then inject immobilizing venom.
Most tarantulas are 'ambush' predators. Instead of roaming the area looking for prey, they'll sit extremely still and simply wait for prey to come within range. They 'launch' themselves at the intended victim, and quickly inject powerful venom.

They secrete their web spinning silk from their abdomen and use their back legs to manipulate it into a web.

Tarantulas are members of the spider family Theraphosidae (order Araneida). They do not make spider webs, but live in holes. They pursue their prey--like crickets and so on.

Tarantulas are like infantry soldiers. They ambush small prey at night, stealthily sneaking up on a potential meal and then pouncing.

Tarantulas do not spin webs, but they do produce silk, which they use for many different purposes.
