Embiopterans are rarely encountered unless males are attracted to lights during the flight period. The adult and larval webspinners produce silk from their enlarged front legs. They use the silk to line tunnels and chambers under ground or stones. Colonies of females live in the nests. Only males have wings,and they are only developed in their last moult. The females guard their eggs, and some species feed their young.
