Introduction
Webspinners are small, shy insects known for their unique ability to spin silk from glands on their front legs.
Physical Description
They are slender and elongated, usually less than 2 cm long, with soft bodies and short wings or none at all.
Habitat
Webspinners prefer warm, humid environments and live in silken galleries they construct on tree bark, leaves, or under stones.
Behavior
They use their silk to build protective tunnels where they hide during the day and forage at night.
Ecological Role
Webspinners contribute to the ecosystem by helping decompose organic material and serve as prey for many predators.
