Family: Uloboridae
Uloboridae Spider (the cribellate orb weavers or hackled orb weavers) kill their
prey by crushing with over 140 metres of thread instead of venom because they
have no venom.
All members of this family produce a feathery, fuzzy silk called cribellate (or
hackled) silk. These spiders do not use an adhesive on their orb webs, but
rather the very fine fibers on each strand of silk tend to ensnare prey.
Uloboridae webs often have a stabilimentum or zig-zag pattern through the
center.
