Each spider maintains and harvests from their region of the web, acting as a unit for prey as large as lizards, birds, and even medium rodents. Unlike a typical orb web, the hihnweb occupies three dimensions in a faceted masterwork that is often compared to a massive gem, especially in morning dew, or the proper lighting conditions. <br> |
| + | The breeding season is year-round, and although some small incidents of cannibalism occur during lean months, the spiders of all ages and sizes in a single colony can be seen working side-by-side under normal conditions. Although colonial like bees, the hinweb spiders do not utilize a queen, although the largest and strongest females develop a matriarchal hierarchy, with those at the top of the chain forming a 'royal caste' of 'baronesses' whose bites are the most lethal, and generally reserved for the largest prey, from which they receive primary feeding priveleges. | ||
