Fangprinzip der Schwarzen Witwe:
Laufinsekten kleben an den Fäden fest, reißen sie durch ihre heftigen Befreiungsversuche ab und werden an den unter Spannung stehenden Fäden in die Höhe gerissen, der Spinne entgegen, die sie, aus dem Wohnteil herbeistürzend, mit Leim und **Fesselfäden** bewirft, durch Giftbiß lähmt und aussaugt.
Hilfe!!! Das einzige, was ich über Spinnen weiß, ist, daß sie 8 Beine haben.
Vielen Dank an alle im Voraus!

sticky threads
There's an excellent site called howstuffworks that shows how spiders "work."
After building all the radius threads, the spider lays more non-stick silk to form an auxiliary spiral, extending from the center of the web to the outer edge of the web. The spider then spirals in on the web, laying out sticky thread and using the auxiliary spiral as a reference. The spider eats up the auxiliary spiral as it lays out the sticky spiral, resulting in a web with non-sticky radius threads, for getting around, and a sticky spiral for catching bugs.
