Labyrinth Funnel Weaver

The Web Architect. The Labyrinth Funnel Weaver, Agelena labyrinthica, is a master architect of the arachnid world. This spider spins intricate funnel-shaped webs, complete with a hidden retreat at the end, where it waits for unsuspecting prey. Its web design is not just for catching food; it's a strategic fortress. In some European folklore, these webs are seen as natural indicators of late summer, when the dew-laden webs shimmer in the morning light. Unlike orb-weavers, the Labyrinth Funnel Weaver doesn't rely on sticky silk. Instead, it uses its speed and the web's structure to trap prey, dashing out from its hidden lair to seize insects that wander into its labyrinthine trap.
