The family agelenidae, made up of by funnel-web spiders, has around 500 species. These spiders are the most 'sociable' of spiders. They build, as the name implies, funnel-webs to catch their prey. Their sociable trait is defined by the fact that there are many cases in which multiple spiders share a nest and food.
