	Close-up of four spinnerets, plus the cribellum. The cribellum is an additional silk producing organ of the crebulate spiders. The presence or absence of a cribellum is used to classify araneomorph spiders into 2 categories: 1- the cribellate spiders (with a cribellate) 2- ecribellate spiders (no cribellate) The distinction between presence and absence of cribellum is used to study evolutionary relationships.
