Has no web, carries young on it's back and physically hunts it's prey down.
Awesome centipede, grows to about 12 inches and can catch a bat when hanging from a cave ceiling.
Mol crickets are really cute, I always liked them as a kid.

I love millipedes, and I hate centipedes.
Centipedes move fast and bite you
Millipedes are just cute, like caterpillars. They also eat leaves and stuff.

The American cowboy wasn't the first to make a living off the lasso. The Bola spider catches its prey by creating a poison sticky mixture and attaching it to a web. It then throws it's lasso at an insect who flies into the spider's range. Some Bola spiders produce a pheromone which attracts insects to her dinner party.

Common name + species when posting please.
My Bio teacher had giant African millipedes. They also come with basically a mite attached to each body segment, so it's like buy one millipede, get 200 mites free!
Still, Mantis Shrimp is king and pwn.
