Though most spiders hunt their prey, many construct elaborate webs to trap their prey. It is an efficient method of gathering food. However, constructing the web is an energetically costly process because of the large amount of protein required, in the form of silk. In addition, after some time the silk will lose its effectiveness at capturing prey. It is common for spiders to eat their own web daily to recoup some of the energy used in spinning.
