A Spider with a difference...

Instead of weaving a web and waiting for preys to get caught in it, this clever Rufous Net-casting Spider (Deinopis subrufa) is a nocturnal hunter, having excellent eyesight, and hunts using a silken net to capture its prey. The net is held between its four front legs and can be extended.
