Uloboridae is the only known family of spiders that does not produce venom. This is a nice lateral photo that shows the complex shape of the spider.
This spider has me doing lots of research. I’m learning new things everyday. Didn’t know that was an egg sack until today.
I read that they hunt their prey and envelope them with very tightly wound web that smothers them, due to not having venom.
