Some spiders live on the edge of another's web waiting for the host to make a catch. Then, very gingerly, they creep in and partake of the same meal, usually at the other end.

Sometimes the freeloader is a male of the same species, and sometimes it's from a completely different gene pool. Either way it must be very careful, lest its status should change from lodger, to lunch.
