The sedentary or web-weaving spiders are of various kinds. They may be grouped according to their spinning habits into cob- web weavers (Therididas), small slim-leg- ged spiders which make the familiar unsymmetrical cobwebs of houses and outbuildings; funnel-web weavers (Agalenidas), larger long-legged spiders of meadow and field which spin a flat or concave horizontal web in the grass with a silken tube leading down to the ground; the curled-thread wea- vers (Dictynidae), which use in addi- tion to the usual lines peculiar broad lines made of waved or curled threads in their ir- regular webs made in fence-corners and on plants; and finally orb-weavers (Epeiridae) (fig. 82), the host of variously colored and patterned stout-bodied garden-spiders which spin the beautiful symmetrical circular webs familiar to all. If a complete uninjured orb web be examined it will be found to consist of a small central hub either open or closed,.
