The Spinner Family 
do not take the trouble to dig even a 
shallow hole, but, having found a crack 
or crevice under a stone or log, or at 
the root of a tree, they take possession, 
line it with a few threads of silk, and 
contentedly set up their housekeeping 
in it. 
This cave is used only as a place of 
safety to which. the Spinner may re- 
treat in case of danger, or in which she 
may sleep during the daytime. 
Like the Jumpers, the 
oround-spiders are 
hunters. They 
‘never set any

capture 
their prey by
