Do spiders spend their whole life in their web, waiting for food?

Not all spiders build webs. Many are hunters and stalk their prey while on their 8 tiny feet. Jumping spiders are on such species.

Some spiders also build a web and then build a nest. They may hide or seek refuge in their nest during the day or at night. Tarantula spiders for example hunt at night by creeping around the ground.

Other spiders like the trapdoor spider builds a nest with a camouflage door and then pops out and tackles prey that come around its nest. Hope this helps.

Well...the females like to have their mates over for dinner ;-).

I have had a spider living next to my kitchen sink for several weeks now. It has quite a large web, but does not live in this. I do not see it during the day, but it comes out every night, and shouting at it makes it run and hide.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
