- Spiders in this family do not have poison glands. They capture prey only
rely on wrapping by silk. They build small incomplete orb web, mostly
horizontal, usually not as perfect as those built by spiders in other web
building families. Some species build web are considered as untidy. They use different type of
silk than other spiders, known as cribellate
silk which is woolly appearance. Those spiders sometimes find live in group
with individual webs loosely connected.
