Not many references edit
While some of the text seems to be approximately accurate, a lot of it isn't properly cited. Will try to find the original sources.
Length of snares edit
The larva spins a nest out of silk on the ceiling of the cave and then hangs down as many as 70 threads of silk (called snares) from around the nest, each up to 3 or 4 cm long and holding droplets of mucus. Snares built by forest-living specimens are much shorter, reaching a maximum length of 5 cm due to wind entangling longer snares.
From the text I understand that the snares from the cave living larvae are 3 to 4 cm while those of the forest living are 5. At the same time I read that the forest-living's snares are shorter. What is correct?
