Agelena labyrinthica (closeup) A look inside the funnel-shaped web built by this Agelena labyrinthica. It seems to be minding its own business, happily feeding on a pile of its victims, even though I am only a few centimers away. This spider has amazing sensors; each of its hairy legs has 25 ultra sensitive vibration detectors and it can see in complete darkness by a special kind of sight that relies on the polarization of light.
