Spider silk is one of nature’s most incredible materials—pound for pound, it is stronger than steel and tougher than Kevlar! Inside a spider's body, silk starts as a liquid protein, but as the spider squeezes it out through tiny nozzles called spinnerets, the molecular chains align and solidify into a super-stretchy, durable thread. To build a classic orb web, a spider first spins a frame of dry, non-sticky dragline silk to walk on safely. Then, it weaves a spiral of sticky silk coated with microscopic glue droplets to trap unsuspecting prey. When a flying insect collides with the web, the silk stretches up to three times its length to absorb the impact without snapping, keeping the catch securely stuck until the spider arrives!
