The striped spider's weapon to catch its prey is a big net, which climbs on the nearby branches. The webs of striped spiders are similar to those of other spiders: radial spider silk spreads in all directions from the center, and then continuously winds into a spiral from the center to the edge. The whole net is made large, neat and symmetrical.
In the lower half of the net, there is a thick and wide belt, starting from the center and bending along the spokes until the edge. This is the imprint of the striped spider's work and a signature of the striped spider in the work.
Extended data:
Spiders' display of motherhood is even more impressive than their talent for hunting. The nest is a silk bag in which eggs are laid. This kind of nest is more mysterious than the bird's nest. It is shaped like an inverted balloon, about the size of pigeon eggs, with a wide bottom and a narrow top, which is flat and surrounded by a circle of clamshell-like edges. On the whole, this is an egg-shaped object supported by several wires.
After laying eggs, the spider's silk sac will start to operate again. But this job is different from before. I saw it first put down its body to touch a certain point, then lifted it up, and then put it down to touch another point, so it was here for a while, without any regularity, and at the same time its hind feet were pulling the released silk. The result of this kind of work is not to weave a beautiful satin, but to weave a messy and intricate net.
