How do spiders catch their prey in webs?

Spiders catch their prey in webs by using sticky silk to create a trap for flying or crawling insects. The spider’s web is designed to vibrate when prey gets caught, alerting the spider to its presence. Once the prey is trapped, the spider rushes to subdue it using venom to immobilize or kill it. Some spiders, like orb-weavers, build intricate and symmetrical webs, while others, like funnel-web spiders, construct more irregular traps. The silk used in webs is incredibly strong and flexible, allowing spiders to create highly effective hunting structures.
