stabilimentum

Latin

stabilimentum (plural stabilimenta)

1. A particular web structure made by some spiders.
   • 1912, John Henry Comstock, The Spider Book: A Manual for the Study of the Spiders and Their Near Relatives, the Scorpions, Pseudoscorpions, Whip-scorpions, Harvestmen, and Other Members of the Class Arachnida:

     The stabilimentum of Cyclosa differs greatly from that of a garden spider. It often consists largely of the remains of the insects that the spider has destroyed fastened together and in place with threads of silk.
