My guess would be that your spider is a mature male and it is making sperm webs.KJ Vezino

My guess would be that KJ is absolutely correct.
Do you have any pictures of the spider? What species is it? Does it have shiny reddish brown appendages on it's pedipalps?Comment

I'd have to agree with KJ as well...
As Phil says...any chance of some pictures to confirm ?Don't forget to learn what you can, when you can, where you can.
