A beautiful web weaving spider spins its web in time lapse. Spiders are amazing at web design. Spiders make their webs from silk, a natural fiber made of protein. Spider silk combines the useful properties of high tensile strength and durability. Spider webs are used for multiple purposes, but the main purpose is to trap insects that get caught up in the web. The insects, now become food for the Spider. They are many species of Spiders all around the world, Spiders are practically everywhere.

Unlike us humans, Spiders do not sleep because they don't have eyelids but they can reduce their activity level and lower their metabolic rate to conserve energy.

Spiders hate the smell of citrus fruits such as lemons and oranges. They even can not stand the smell of peppermint oils tea tree oils, eucalyptus, or vinegar. Using any of these around the house would keep Spiders away. Spiders' web is said to be five times stronger than steel.

Spider webs are built from silk, which is produced within the body of the Spider and pulled out of two openings with the spider's hind legs.
All spiders have two claws on their feet but web-spinning spiders have three. They are used to pull the silk but also grip and release the thread of the web and provide traction when they move along the web.

The strength of the web is dependent not only on the strength of the spun silk but on the web design itself.
