Spiders don t always make permanent homes. Webs are constantly destroyed and rebuilt. One type of orb weaver spins it s web in the evening and eats it before morning, only to repeat the process the next night. There are also spiders that never make webs. The wolf spider is a roaming hunter, though on occasion it may dig a burrow.
Male spiders seek out a female when they are ready to mate.
This is a very dangerous process, since the females are, more often than not, much larger than the males. Many spiders must travel to find a mate, and since anything that moves will be taken by a predator, male spiders can be eaten before they reach their destination. However, one male may mate with several females, so the loss is not great. Some males will check before hand if the female has already mated. If so, he will go in search of another mate.
