Spiders that spin webs do so as a means of catching food. Another reason for webs is that male spiders use them during the process of reproduction.

Spiders use a variety of webs to catch prey. Gladiator spiders use it as a net but Trapdoor spiders use it as a tripwire.

Does a trapdoor spider spin a web?

Sort of. The Sydney Tunneling Spider spins a web inside the ground, and after it digs its hole, it spins a lid for the hole, and camoflages it. When prey comes around, it would step on the web, sendng vibrations which the spider feels, and quickly goes to the surface to paralyze its prey and suck the juices out of the prey!!!
