Amazing! Spider silk is a good source of strength, lightness and is much more superior to that of the synthetic materials.

Hello Friend,
Thank you for this information about spiders. Call me crazy but when we have a spider in the house, I catch it and throw it out. All God’s creatures great and small right?! We even have s couple of those cellar spiders in our bathroom closet. It never gets used anyway so I just let them stay. They don’t bother anything. My grandmother had them in her basement so I’ve been around them my whole life. As long as they don’t bother me, I don’t bother them. Within reason though. Unfortunately, some end up getting squished. This was interesting and I learned a couple of things. I’m always up for that! Thanks! ❤️💜💚
