Remember: in your photo, you see only two large eyes, the other eyes are much smaller and hardly to see on the photo.

Hint: It might be a family that you do not expect to build funnel webs - just look at the eyes.

The caterpillars have special glands and secret a sugary substance which ants love. This occurs in which family?
