Labyrinth Spider

Agelena labyrinthica

Labyrinth Spider

The labyrinth spider inhabits sunny grasslands, hedgerows, and scrub, where it spins a broad sheet web leading into a funnel-shaped hideout. It waits beneath the web, rushing out at vibrations made by trapped flies, moths, and other small insects. Its dense, maze-like web can be especially conspicuous when covered with morning dew.
