Re: spider's webs

hello pat if you would like to see for yourself,get a baking tray put two lumps or plasticine fairly far apart insert a stick in each slightly inclined to the middle ,top up the tray with water and introduce a web spinning spider
the spider does not like water but needs to eat so it will spin a web before your very eyes!
incidently somewhere there is a web covering 60 acres spun by a tiny spider called halorates ksenius (size 5mm across )
