Which spider is recognized for building a retreat in the form of a flattened silk tube?

The yellow house spider is recognized for building a retreat in the form of a flattened silk tube. This spider constructs these silk structures, which typically appear as small, tubular retreats attached to surfaces such as walls or corners. The design of the retreat allows the spider to hide from predators while also providing a space to ambush its prey effectively.

In contrast, the brown recluse spider is known for its violin-shaped marking and is not particularly recognized for creating silk tubes. The black widow spider, famous for its potent venom, constructs irregular webs rather than tubular retreats. The wolf spider, on the other hand, does not build webs for retreat; it is more of a ground-dwelling hunter that relies on its speed and agility to capture prey. Thus, the yellow house spider stands out for its distinctive use of flattened silk tubes in its web-building behavior.
