How Net-casting spiders catch their prey?

Net-casting spiders have long legs and large eyes. They use their silk to weave a stamp-sized net, with which they enclose victims with a lightning-quick movement. The spider sets its trap meticulously: first it leaves white-faeces on the ground as target points. Then with its net held between its front legs; it hangs on a thread, lying in wait. When an unsuspecting creature crosses its trap, the spider stretches its net quickly and traps the victim. It then bits the trapped prey and wraps it up ready to eat. The spiders’ huge eyes help them to see well in low light, and have earned them the alternative name “ogre-faced spiders”.
