Spitting Spider: The Web Slinger
Homes worldwide contain arachnids that hunt using projectile silk. The spitting spider shoots a zigzag pattern of venom-laced webbing at prey from up to an inch away. This sticky net immobilizes insects instantly, allowing safe approach and feeding. Unlike typical web-building spiders, these active hunters patrol for victims each night. They create the perfect silk consistency by mixing different gland secretions in their mouths before firing at near-supersonic speeds.
