Funnel Weaver Spider
Hololena nedra
Hololena nedra is a western North American funnel-weaver spider that lives in silk-lined retreats in crevices, low vegetation, and sheltered corners. It waits near the mouth of a sheet-and-funnel web, rushing out when vibrations reveal small insects or other arthropods. Like other spiders, it uses venom to subdue prey, but it is not considered medically important to people. A notable feature is its funnel-shaped retreat, which lets it hide while keeping contact with the surrounding trip lines.
