[[Image:Hobo3.jpg]] | [[Image:Hobo3.jpg]] The hobo spider makes silk nests to prey in. They are mainly found in the homes of humans because they are looking for mates. These spiders usually are not looking to attack humans as we know them to because bites are mainly found on people who step on them. The trap that they use to catch prey is ver unique because it makes a sheet of silk pointing upwards so that its prey falls into it. After the prey falls into the trap the spider will be waiting in a retreating tube until the insect gets tangled up in all the webs. When the insect is tangled in the webs the spider will jump out and inject the paralyzing venom. The usual prey of the hobo spider includes carpet beetles, earwigs, houseflies and silverfish. The hunting habits are always the same even if they live indoors or out in the fields, gardens and hedges. | ||
