Death Trap
The round snares that Orbweavers spin are what most people think of when they imagine a spider web. Some species spin them in the evening for the night while others build them for the day. Either way, after constructing it, the spider will wait patiently until a prey animal gets trapped in the web. Then it will quickly attack by spinning the victim while wrapping it in silk. After the food has been secured, it is cut free and hauled to the where the spider will feed on it.
