If present the female spider will jerk at the web and if not present, then the female spider will walk to the opposite side of the web.

Feather-legged lace weaver
Feather-legged lace weaver

Resplendent with a woolly appearance, feather-legged lace weaver exhibits a unique method of ensnaring its prey. Eschewing venom, feather-legged lace weaver relies on a meticulous crafting of cribellate silk - a distinctly specialized and hackle-band structure, woven by a fine-toothed comb known as a cribellum. This remarkable arachnid, identifiable by its feathery tufts, immobilizes its captive quarry not with toxins but with an entangling array of non-sticky silk fibers, making it an outlier in a world where most of its kin utilize sticky webs or venom for hunting.
