   There are others too:
   
   

   You won't find them in Washington, DC, Hollywood, or Vermont – but on Caribbean islands and other southern spots you might now get a glimpse of Spintharus davidattenboroughi, S. barackobamai, S. michelleobamaae, and S. berniesandersi as well as S. davidbowiei and S. leonardodicaprioi.

   
   Also:
   
   

   Each student who helped describe the spiders also got to name a few of them – and some were named for beloved family members, "but we all named the Bernie Sanders spider," says Lily Sargeant, one of the students who worked on the project, and who graduated from UVM last year. "We all have tremendous respect for Bernie. He presents a feeling of hope."
   
   "That spider species will be named after Bernie forever," says Ben Chomitz, another of the student researchers.
   
   "Our time on this earth is limited," says Lily Sargeant. "But I think that ideas are not that way. It is my hope that through naming that spider after Bernie we can remember the ideas that he has at this pivotal point in the life of our nation."
   
   For student Chloe Van Patten, her naming process goes back to what she calls a high school "obsession" with actor Leonardo DiCaprio. "I'm over my crush, but now that he's involved in environmental issues, I love him even more.
   
   So I named a spider after him hoping that if he read our study," says the recent UVM graduate, "he might go out to dinner with me and talk about climate change."

   Let me guess: it doesn't spin webs, but instead waits for other spiders to spin webs so it can devour them and their catches.

    My friend found a spider today. He trapped it in a jar and I kept shaking the jar.

    Nope, it belongs in the Theridiidae family (like the widows), so it traps its prey in webs. As for spiders robbing other spiders of their prey, right off the top of my head I can't think of any using that technique, but several species from several families hunt other spiders, the most interesting being Portia labiata.
    
    There's a video of P. labiata here:
