Types of Spider Webs
TRIANGLE WEB
The best way to visualize the triangle web is a slice of pizza. Spokes and spirals connect to three silky strands, which form a triangle.
These webs break the rules and aren’t sticky. They’re actually covered in tiny fibers that give the web a fuzzy texture. These fibers help the spiders to smother their prey.
One spider, the triangle weaver spider, takes this design and turns it into a slingshot. The triangle weaver tightly pulls a line of silk before releasing it. This results in the spider and the web launching forward. By doing this multiple times, the other silk strands fall and trap the spider’s prey.
