The last one I posted was in December but this one has bright fiery orange to its dark body. Again you can see a silk line being pulled from its end. I have no idea what spider this is.
"Spider webs are made of silk, produced from spinnerets at the end of a spider's abdomen. Most spiders have three pairs of spinnerets, which are supplied by silk glands within the abdomen.
A spider may be able to produce as many as six different types of silk. These silks can be used and combined to spin webs, wrap prey, line their retreats, construct egg cocoons and travel.
This silk has some amazing properties. It is composed of a mixture of protein crystals in a matrix of amino acids. This structure makes it one of the strongest of natural fibers, about half as strong as steel. But unlike steel, spider silk is very extensible, so it actually is "tougher" than steel. Researchers are focusing on ways to biosynthesize silk to create new fiber products.
