Van Helsing stood quietly watching a spider weaving its delicate web. “Spiders are incredible engineers,” he said. “They use silk produced from their spinnerets to build webs that can catch even the tiniest prey.”
He continued, “Some spiders make orb webs with perfect symmetry, while others build funnel or sheet webs. The silk is stronger than steel by weight and very elastic, making it perfect for trapping insects.”
