There are funnel webs, cob webs (eg: black widows), sac webs, etc. Some spiders only use webbing for their egg sacs, or as a climbing apparatus (jumping spiders). There are an enormous number of web types. Florida has some spiders that make some quite novel web types, like the bolas spider or the ogre spider. | |
