Spider Silk Miscellany
During my searches about argiope trifasciata (banded garden) spiders for "Argiope Trifasciata Spider--Final Bug Spotting of 2017" and "Argiope Trifasciata Spider--Doggone Buggone at 2018 Start",
I collected information about spider silk, webs, stabilimenta, and
Charlotte's web. IMHO, the most interesting information about spider
silk is specialization. Spiders produce different silk for different
purposes, coming from different "extruders" called spinnerets. Read the entire article and comment there, please.
