You’d never expect a spider web to resist a thermobaric blast, but forensic entomologists have made a curious observation: in some edge-zone ruins, spider silk remains intact — and incredibly informative.
🕷️ Why Webs Matter:
- Spider silk is stronger than steel by weight, and in some cases, webs in partially sheltered corners can survive pressure waves.
- These webs may trap microparticles, including explosive residue, skin cells, or metal shrapnel.
🔬 Forensic Clues:
- By analyzing dust composition on web filaments, experts can estimate blast direction and particle dispersion patterns.
- Even insects trapped in the webs might show signs of thermal or pressure damage, offering a tiny timeline of the blast’s effect.
💡 Unexpected Use:
Military and forensic teams in urban conflict zones have started photographing and collecting webs as part of micro-forensic sampling kits.
A spider’s web might be fragile, but in forensic science, it’s a trap for the truth. 🕸️🧠
