How do spiders spin their webs?
- ๐๏ธ 8
Spiders spin their webs using silk produced in specialised glands located in their abdomen. The silk is extruded through spinnerets, and its properties can be adjusted for different purposes, such as building structures, capturing prey, or protecting eggs. Spiders use their legs to carefully shape the web, anchoring it to surfaces and creating intricate patterns. The sticky silk traps insects, while the non-sticky silk allows the spider to move freely. This remarkable ability enables spiders to efficiently hunt and adapt to various habitats.
