The lines on which these webs are spun are suspended from one tree to another, and are as thick as coarse thread.

The fibres radiate from a central point, where the insect waits for its prey.

The webs are placed perpendicularly, and a common occurrence in walking is to get the face enveloped in them as a lady is in a veil.
Another kind of spider lives in society, and forms so great a collection of webs placed at every angle, that the trunk of a tree surrounded by them can not be seen.

A piece of hedge is often so hidden by this spider that the branches are invisible.

Another is seen on the inside of the walls of huts among the Makololo in great abundance.
