Long-bodied cellar spider (Pholcus phalangioides)

The characteristic name of this species derives from the fact that when disturbed, for example after a bump from their web, they react by exhibiting a circular motion that
transmits a high-frequency vibration to the entire web, observing it seems to be dancing a frantic dance.

Daddy long-legs spiders (Pholcus phalangioides) love dark and humid places and often prey on other spiders such as Agelenids, which inhabit their own environments. Spider's web can often be observed
of different specimens that intersect each other, usually coexist quietly with each other.

Long-bodied cellar spider (Pholcus phalangioides)

These spiders, like the others belonging to the Pholcidae family,
they keep the cocoon (ovisac) between the chelicerae, and for all the time before hatching they stop feeding, having their weapon of offense (the fangs) thus occupied.

In autumn the male of Tegenaria parietina wanders outside its web and having found a female, lives with it in the web even for a few days before mating. The male dies a few weeks after the union, the female produces an ovisac near her funnel-shaped den containing 40 to 80 spiderlings.

The cobwebs of Tegenaria domestica are defined as "sheet" and consist of two "environments", a central tunnel-shaped entrance in which the spider awaits its prey, often showing only the first pair of legs useful for testing the capture web, and a horizontal "sheet", made of non-sticky silk, on which the unfortunate preys, hitting vertical silk threads, fall and often become the meal of the skilled builder.

A cosmopolitan family of the Salticidae, their small size means that the wind carries them almost everywhere.
Some species supplement the diet by feeding on nectar and pollen by jumping from flower to flower, sometimes defending the flower itself from the onslaught of harmful insects.

The internal hydraulic system is extremely effective, allowing them to increase and decrease the internal pressure in order to make jumps even in the absence of a muscular system. The efficiency of the system is such that it allows them to jump 40 to 60 times the length of their body.

The highly developed eyes of the group of the Salticidae are perhaps the most peculiar characteristic. The retinas of the eyes of these spiders can be moved back and forth,
allowing him an excellent focus of the prey.

Frontinellina frutetorum, builds a double web usually between the branches of the trees where it settles in the middle. The central area of the web forms like a drape under which the "upside down" spider awaits its prey.

As the internet creates a network for us to communicate, the cobwebs of spiders do the same, playing with the senses of the prey and looking for love.
