STICK SPIDER FACTS |
Description
These spiders look like a piece of twig when they are at rest. They use a single woolly silk line to catch their prey. They keep the line taut by pulling any slack silk into a loop underneath their body. When an insect hits the line, the spider releases the loop of silk which drops along the line to help tangle the prey.
