Bolas Spider Uses A Lasso On Its Prey
A Bolas spider is common nationwide and hunts at night. It lies in wait on a silk line stretched between twigs and uses a five to six inch viscid silk ball as a lasso to snag moths and other prey, delivering venom before wrapping and consuming its meal. The spider feeds slowly by sucking the body contents, then may rest before hunting again. They stay hidden during the day in bushes or trees, often appearing spiderless to the unaided eye.
