spider webs
Eight-legged architects' work
Spider webs are the silken structures spun by spiders to catch prey, shelter eggs, or serve as living quarters.
The intricate geometric patterns of orb webs are most familiar, but spiders produce many web types including tangled cobwebs and funnel-shaped retreats.
Figuratively, a spider web suggests something that entraps or entangles: a spider web of lies.
The compound appears as two words, hyphenated, or as one word (spiderweb).
