The Araneomorphae (also called the Labidognatha or "true spiders" [1]) are an infraorder of spiders.They are distinguishable by chelicerae (fangs) that point diagonally forward and cross in a pinching action, in contrast to the Mygalomorphae (tarantulas and their close kin), where they point straight down.

A syrphid fly captured in the web of a spider Cheiracanthium punctorium, displaying fangs Uniquely among chelicerates , the final sections of spiders' chelicerae are fangs, and the great majority of spiders can use them to inject venom into prey from venom glands in the roots of the chelicerae.

Some flies in the family Acroceridae that are endoparasites of mygalomorphs may remain dormant in their book lungs for as long as 10 years before beginning their development and consuming the spider. [5] One female trapdoor spider, first recorded in a survey in 1974 in Western Australia, is known to have lived for 43 years. [6]
Fang: The final hinged part of the chelicera, normally folded down into a groove in the basal part of the chelicera; venom is injected via an opening near the tip of the fang [11] Femur: see segments; Fertilization duct: A duct in female entelegyne spiders leading from the spermathecae to the uterus [10] Larinioides cornutus spider showing ...
When a spider bites, the two parts of the chelicerae come together like a folding knife, and when making a threat display or actually preparing to bite, the spider will open the angle of the fangs with the basal portion of the chelicerae and also open the angle of the basal portion with the cephalothorax.

This spider has a flattened body, helping it to secrete itself in cracks and crevices. Walnut orb-weaving spiders are capable of concealing themselves in very confined spaces. This tends to act as a defensive advantage and increases the number of locations an orb-web can be effectively constructed.
Once all araneomorph (modern) spiders had a cribellum, but today it only remains in the cribellate spiders (although it is sometimes missing even here), which are widespread around the world. Often, this plate lacks the ability to produce silk, and is then called the colulus. The colulus is reduced or absent in most species. [13]
