There are hundreds of species of spiders in the world. These small animals can appear to us sometimes as a
construction engineer capable of performing calculations for building its nest, sometimes as an interior
designer making complicated plans, sometimes a chemist making incredibly strong and flexible
threads,deadly venoms, and dissolving acids, and sometimes as a hunter using the most cunning tactics.
Most people think of the spider as an animal that just uses a web to catch its prey. But this by no means tells the
whole story, because these webs, each one a wonder of architecture and engineering, are not the only means
by which spiders catch their prey. Besides spinning webs, spiders employ some surprising tactics when
hunting.
