THE FUNNEL WEAVERS.—AGELENID2:.
They spin nets to catch insects, and stay in or near the nets in a convenient place watching for their prey to become entangled. Their webs, closely woven, supported by strong cross-threads running in all directions, are placed horizontally, ending at one side in a tube in which the spider dwells.
In shape these spiders resemble Lycoside, but are easily distinguished from all others by their long, tail-like spinnerets. Zegenaria, the cellar spider, builds his web mostly in dark places, and the tube is generally placed above the web. Age/ena, the grass spider, places his web on stumps, shrubs, plants, and in the grass, with its tube below the web ending on the ground, and affording an easy way to escape when a formidable enemy becomes entangled in the web.
