This posting is nearly 7 years old, and as we have stated numerous times, we do not have backgrounds in entomology or science, but rather, we are artists who have an interest in promoting appreciation of the lower beasts. We have learned much in the seven years since this posting first went live on the internet. We would now qualify that response to read that they do not build webs to snare their prey. Jumping Spiders like all spiders are able to spin silk, but their silk is not used to build a web to trap insects and other prey. They may construct shelters from silk as well as spinning silken egg sacs. Dear lordvimless,
