reproductive web of jumping spider

Description:

"Like all true spiders, the jumping spiders do create silk, but not for web making. Instead, they use the silk to line their places of refuge to make them more comfortable, they use the silk to create a covering for their cluster of eggs." http://buginfo.com/article.cfm?id=92 To see a similar spotting with the jumping spider look here http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/128...

Habitat:

Observed on Sansevieria trifasciata in a large semi-urban yard & garden next to a disturbed patch of remnant lowland forest.

Yes, I did not include that part but it talks about that in the same link I posted in description.

Interesting. I think I've seen jumpers use silk like a 'safety line' too... like recovery for when they miss a target. ??
