The young of Tegenaria medicinalis. Fig. 238. Web of Tegenaria medicinalis in a hollow of a rock, the front edge held up by threads running across the hollow, and the mouth of the tube showing behind it. are pale, with light gray markings, and the cephalothorax is marked with spots radiating from the dorsal groove (fig. 234). The web of this spider is not flat like that of Agalena, but curved in various shapes according to the place where it is built. If there is an open level place near the nest, the web spreads across it, but usually curves upward at the edges and is fastened to surrounding stones and weeds. Where the spider lives in the cracks of a wall or rock, the net spreads.
