The
Embioterans get their name Webspinners because they make silken
webs and tunnels under stones, logs and in the soil. They live
in small communities of a dozen or so individuals and generally
stay in close proximity to their tunnels. Although the individuals
do not cooperate, their tangled, communal webs probably give extra
protection from centipedes and other predators. The silk is produced
from special glands in the swollen tarsal segment on each front
leg. They lay their eggs in the tunnels with the female rendering
parental care.
