Agelenidae
Funnel web spiders create webs that resemble a tunnel, with a flat sheet of silk serving as the entrance. These spiders hide in the tunnel and wait for prey to land on the web before striking.
Spiders that build tunnel-shaped webs are known as funnel weavers or funnel-web spiders. They construct a funnel-shaped retreat where they wait for prey to become ensnared in the silk strands leading to the tunnel.
spiders that make tunnel webs can they be found in UK, North Scotland in particular?
The name for a spiders trap is its web. The web helps spiders trap their food and enemies.
Some spiders build a web so their food will fly or crawl into it. Others make a tunnel and then surprises their prey by popping out of their tunnel and catching the food. Some spiders build a web net and drops it on their food and eats it when it's ready. There are many different ways spiders can catch their food.

Funnel Web Spiders
When the spider is in its web it will be safe from predators except from spider eating wasps which can find the spiders in their webs. If the spider is out of its web it cant protect itself but only can run and try and get away.
