    Cool! I wonder if you've seen this video already of a net-casting spider in action? Different species but still fascinating how fast they are:

      Thank you Ferdy. That is amazing to watch. I have been searching for this spider for a long time and this is the first one I found. But everyone tells me that it is very common . Posted 6 years ago
