How do spiders spin webs?

Spiders spin webs using silk produced by specialised glands called spinnerets. Each spinneret produces different types of silk for specific purposes, such as building a web, wrapping prey, or creating egg sacs. Spiders carefully construct webs by anchoring silk lines and weaving intricate patterns to trap insects. Some webs are sticky to ensnare prey, while others rely on structure and strategic placement. Spiders recycle old silk by consuming it and using the proteins to produce new silk.
