Sneaky spiders!

KitchenBert_AndSoTheyBuild08-iej

Bowl-and-doily spiders need to trap their food
and so they build......

The little bowl-and-doily spider is found in North
America and has relatives, known as sheet-web or
hammock-web spiders, in many parts of the world.
Its name derives from the fact that it spins two
webs, the upper one shaped like a shallow bowl, the
lower one like a flat doily.

When an insect gets entangled in the bowl, the spider
bites through the web from below, pulls the insect
through, and wraps it up.

The two webs, as well as being an effective food
trap, help to protect the spiders, who often hang
between the bowl and the doily.
