Spider Silk

Post by Olympusman »

There was a spider egg case on my front door with a big fluffy wrapper like a pale amber cotton ball. Here are a few images of the silk. The fiber density is much looser since the webbing was stretched when trying to pull it off to get onto a slide. The stuff sticks to everything.
