- A tiny underground bug, sought after for its thread.
A cave spider is a type of Template:L. It produces Template:Ls that can be collected and Template:L into Template:L. Cave spiders can be annoying and beneficial at the same time. They will usually hang out around underground areas like Template:L or underground water sources. They will leave Template:Ls around these areas or even in your fortress that can be collected via the 'collect webs' job at the Template:L, which is created automatically when webs are around. They can be annoying because they will bite the occasional pet or dwarf, though they're only mildly Template:L.
Pest Control
If you have Template:Ls around your fortress, they will hunt cave spiders down without mercy just like any other vermin, and this can be a bit annoying if you want those webs. You can attempt to solve this problem by confining all unattached cats using Template:Ls or Template:Ls and eliminating cats that have Template:L a dwarf, but this approach can cause Template:L issues, and migrants will continue to introduce pet cats to your fortress.
Use in Industry
Unfortunately, Template:L a cave spider does not provide a source of controlled Template:L production, as cave spiders in cages will not spin webs. Because of this, a Template:L farm requires an area (potentially cleared and sealed, for dwarven Template:L) in which the vermin can run wild. Since cave spiders do not reproduce like creatures, any such farm will need to be in a Template:L that generates cave spiders. You can also dig out a room in an upper level (near your loom) and attach a lever to a placed cage "q,a,j" (much the same as you would with caged goblins, though be sure to tame the spiders), once the cage has been filled with tame cave spiders, "q,a,P" pull the lever, releasing the spiders (that have been caught in an animal trap baited with meat), they will be released and begin filling the area with webs without your dorfs and pets having to deal with bites.
