Jordan's Report on Spider's webs.

Funnel webs.

Some spiders live in burrow webs. The burrow is made of silk and is underground. Above the ground, the spider spins a funnel with long threads going into the burrow. Sometimes an insect gets caught in the web, the spider can feel it vibrating and eats it.

Lasso webs.

The Lasso web is also a type of spiders web which catches moths. This is how the spider makes the Lasso web: It makes a long thread with balls of glue at the bottom. This type of spider has hairs on its body so it can feel the moths moving. To catch the moth it spins the thread with glue at the bottom and the glue touches the moth so the moth gets caught and the spider pulls it in.
