What is spiders web made of?
Spiders make their webs from silk, a natural fibre made of protein. Not only does spider silk combine the useful properties of high tensile strength and extensibility, it can be beautiful in its own right.How strong is the spider web?
We don't usually notice just how strong they can be because they are amazingly thin. But the strongest silk, such as silk from a golden orb spider, is actually stronger than steel. Even more amazing, it is about 50 times as light. Actually, spider silk is a bit like a cross between steel and rubber.What is spider web used for?
Spiders use their silk to make webs or other structures, which function as sticky nets to catch other animals, or as nests or cocoons to protect their offspring, or to wrap up prey. They can also use their silk to suspend themselves, to float through the air, or to glide away from predators.Where does the spider web come from?
It is produced in internal glands, moving from a soluble form to a hardened form and then spun into fiber by the spinnerets on the spider's abdomen. Spiders' multiple spinnerets and eight legs come in handy for web-building. The architecture of a web is very species-specific, says Coddington.Lucas The Spider
