Lining a burrow with silk has several advantages. Which one is the most important may depend on other factors, such as the weather.

In soil that is very stable and unlikely to cave in, burrow linings are probably most important for helping the spider get a good grip as it moves in its burrow, and for giving the spider a good place to hang its egg sac after it has laid a clutch of eggs.

In soil that is sandy or in soil that gets shifty when wet, the biggest advantage to the spider is that the webbing helps keep the tunnel from caving in.

Trapdoor Spiders sometimes get attacked by wasps or other animals that try to pull their door open. The spider grabs her side of the silk-covered door with her fangs and hangs on tightly to the burrow wall with her eight feet. Without a burrow lining to give the spider's claws a good grip, it would be very much easier to pull her out.

How do you draw a cobweb?

draw 3 intersecting lines (can be easier to think of it as a divided pizza with 6 slices) These are your main frame lines. If you are making a larger cobweb, or one with thin strands you can have more frame lines. it can look somewhat uneven or have the lines slightly different lengths. then start near the middle point and start going around the circle connecting the frame lines, working your way in a circular fashion outwards. these lines tend to be best drawn in a slight U bend, where the line dips towards the middle between the main lines. If I am confuing, it is fairly easy to google images of 'cobweb tattoos" as they tend to show a good idea of what to draw.


You found a reddish brown spider with red and brown striped legs and a cream colored belly that has reddish brown pattern on it What is it?

Based on your description, the spider you found could be a brown widow spider (Latrodectus geometricus). It is important to note that without a photo or more details, it is difficult to provide a definitive identification. If you suspect it may be a venomous species like a widow spider, it's best to exercise caution and contact a professional for removal if needed.

Can a spider live in your neck?

While it's extremely unlikely for a spider to live in your neck, they can occasionally crawl onto people and may even be found in unusual places. Spiders are not parasitic and do not burrow into human skin or tissues. If you feel something unusual on your neck, it's more likely to be a harmless encounter rather than a spider living there. If you're concerned about any unusual symptoms, it's best to consult a healthcare professional.
