Hyptiotes
''Hyptiotes'' is a genus of spiders in the family Family (from ) is a Social group, group of people related either by consanguinity (by recognized birth) or Affinity (law), affinity (by marriage or other relationship). It forms the basis for social order. Ideally, families offer predictabili ... Uloboridae. Feeding ''Hyptiotes'' creates a triangular web and sits at a vertex until it detects vibrations that signify the collision of its prey. At this moment the spider releases a coil of silk which it has held taut in such a manner that the tension of the web causes it to entangle the prey. The spider then wraps its prey in special wrapping silk.David Attenborough, 2005, Life In the Undergrowth, Episode 3, 23 mins 15 secs ff.

Hyptiotes Paradoxus
''Hyptiotes paradoxus'', also known as the triangle spider, is a cribellate orbweaver in the family Uloboridae. Description Body Adult males have a body length of 3–4 mm (0.12–0.16 in), females 5–6 mm (0.20–0.24 in). The carapace is Broad. It ranges from ginger to dark brown, and has a dense covering of hairs. The abdomen is orange-brown to reddish-brown, with faint black horizontal bands which extend around the sides. It is raised towards the anterior, giving the spider a hunched look, and it may bear a pair of small tubercules on the anterior side. The male has a darker and more cylindrical abdomen than the female, and it lacks the raised anterior. They have short, stout legs, which are coloured as the carapace. Mature males have extremely large pedipalps, similar in size to the carapace. Eye arrangement They have eight eyes in two rows, with the posterior row distributed across the midline of the carapace, and the anterior row halfway between the posterior row ...

Hyptiotes Cavatus
''Hyptiotes cavatus'', the triangle weaver, is a species of cribellate orb weaver in the family of spiders known as Uloboridae. It is found in the eastern United States and Canada. This spider makes use of its triangle-shaped web in a unique fashion compared to most orb-weaving spiders. Using its body as a bridge between an anchor line and the main trap line of the web, it uses its legs to reel in the silk leading to the rest of the web to increase tension within the structure. It waits until prey makes contact with the web, then releases the held anchor line, causing the web (and the spider) to spring forwards 2-3 cm at high speed. This causes up to 4 additional web strands to touch the prey, and the sudden stop when the web reaches the end of its elasticity then winds the prey further into the strands. This process uses stored elastic potential in a manner similar to human tools like the slingshot or the bow and arrow. ''Hyptiotes cavatus'' has only six functional eyes. ...
