Not all spiders spin webs to catch their food with. Among them are the wolf spider, trapdoor spider and the jumping spider.
Spiders spin webs to catch prey. The silk they produce is strong and sticky, helping them immobilize insects that get caught. The web also serves as a shelter and a place for spiders to lay their eggs.
Spiders eat other insects. Most spiders build webs that have sticky strands to trap small insects who get tangled up when they fly into it. When the spider feels something struggling in its web it will run over and bite the prey, which will paralyze it and turn its insides to liquid (spiders can't chew). The spider then wraps its prey up in silk (like a mummy!) and it waits until the prey's insides turn to liquid so it can drink it up. Yum! Try watching a spider eat a fly from a web at home.
No. Not all spiders have the ability to spin webs. That's because not all spiders are capable of making silk. Those spiders that do not spin webs for a living to survive use many other tactics to catch their prey. This includes the Wolf Spider that stalks and pounces on it's victim like a cat. The Trap Door Spider lives up to it's name by making a home underground where it hides. With a foilage of leaves, grass, and twigs that this spider created, its prey has nearly no chance of escaping. Why? By the time the Trap Door Spider lunges at its victim it is too late. (for the victim) There are thousands to millions of spiders that use many other tactics to catch prey besides spinning a web. Even some that haven't been discovered yet.
Usually they'll catch their food with the spiderwebs they make. First spiders weave their web. Then they wait for an insect to fly into the web. They wrap the insect in their spider silk which is what the web is made from. Then the spider injects the insect with venom that either paralyze or kills the insect. The venom makes the insect into liquid. Then the spider eats it.
No, funnel spiders do not weave traditional orb webs like other spiders. Instead, they construct funnel-shaped webs that act as a trap for catching prey. The spider waits at the narrow end of the funnel for vibrations that signal prey is near.
