Philoponella vicina is a kind of spider than does not use (characteristic of Uloboridae) venom but instead wraps its prey in hundreds of metres of spider silk to crush it to death. The spider then goes on to regurgitate digestive fluid into the shroud then consuming the pre-digested liquid.Stabilimenta occur in more than half of constructed orbs most commonly with two lines pointing up and down from the spider. If only one radius is constructed it is mostly constructed above the spider.
