This tiny spider builds webs across rivers with silk more than 10 times tougher than Kevlar |
Spotting a spider web stretching from one side to the other seems impossible, yet this is exactly what…

#SpiderSilk-making organs evolved due to a 400-million-year-old #genetic oops
#Spiders and silk go hand in hand, but spinnerets may exist thanks to an ancient error
A close look at the genetics and development of #spinnerets — spiders’ silk-making organs — reveals that an early arachnid doubled all of its DNA hundreds of millions of years ago. The findings suggest key, doubled genes were responsible for the #evolution of spinnerets.

My last big work on spider silk is coming out! We discovered that spider silk does not behave like many people think, and that sometimes with just three bottles you can get more than four types of drinks!
Enjoy the read

Stronger than steel, softer than skin.
A new era of medicine is being woven, literally! We explore how a Latvian biotech company is biomimetically synthesizing spider silk, nature's most perfect fiber, to create clot-resistant heart valves and scaffolds for lab-grown organs. This is the future of implantable tech.Read about "The Iron Thread": https://medium.com/@makalin/%EF%B8%8Fthe-iron-thread-how-biotech-is-weaving-spider-silk-into-the-future-of-human-organs-ed25846413b9

#Arachtober 12: a small yellow sac spider (_Cheiracanthium_) perches on a fence post and releases a stream of silk strands that are separated and carried aloft by the breeze and (as we've learned in recent years) atmospheric static electricity. If the silk catches on something, the spider can use it to bridge a long gap. Smaller spiders can be borne aloft entirely and traverse long distances, a behaviour called ballooning.

Over five years, using silk from one million spiders, artists created the world’s only golden spider silk cape—handmade, priceless, and impossible to recreate with modern machines.

Update: managed to get a look at the spider that made the wonky web. It's hard to see from these photos (didn't have my macro stuff on me), but it has only one leg on the right side!
That could account for its messy web, I think.

BTW, here's what a long-jawed orbweaver egg sac looks like when complete. (I had to go home before our gal upthread was completely finished with hers, but got a pic of this fresh one by a spider who was making hers at around the same time.)
