Also, this web is so dense it looks like a solid sheet of silk, studded with the remains of its past victims. Wouldn't that be a little too conspicuous? I thought spider webs were supposed to be nearly invisible to the prey.

Well the article claims cave is pitch dark, so I guess the invisible part is granted anyway.

Cave-dwelling animals don't just crash into walls all the time, so by "visible" I mean large enough and dense enough to be recognized as an obstacle in whatever navigation system they use.

They do rest on walls though.

		In this case every part of the wall is actually just a spiderweb.
