Spiders spin webs to catch their food, just like how you might put a net in the lake to fish. They use special threads they make from their bodies, which are as strong and stretchy as a rubber band, but made of protein! When they spin a web, it’s like making a really good trap for tiny bugs or flies. The web helps them catch food even when they aren’t around.
Examples
- A spider spins a web in the corner of your room, waiting for ants to walk into it.
- You find a spider on a string, and it’s making tiny little loops like it's weaving a net in the air.
- Spiders use their legs to move around while spinning a web so they can add more lines.
