Weavers

Weavers are insects belonging to the family of spiders, known as Araneae. They are characterized by their ability to create intricate silk structures, primarily webs, for various purposes such as catching prey, creating shelters, or laying eggs. Their silk production comes from specialized glands, and they exhibit diverse behaviors and adaptations depending on their species. Weavers play crucial roles in ecosystems by controlling insect populations and contributing to food webs. Some well-known types include orb-weavers, known for their wheel-shaped webs, and cobweb spiders, which create tangled structures in corners and crevices.
