I wonder how long it takes for spiders to make silk. Days? Hours? Minutes?]]> 2021-01-21 05:00:55 UTC https://padlet.com/gurradh/surprisingspidersilkrdgp4/wish/1108502432 https://padlet.com/gurradh/surprisingspidersilkrdgp4/wish/1110642600 2021-01-21 16:06:57 UTC https://padlet.com/gurradh/surprisingspidersilkrdgp4/wish/1110642600 https://padlet.com/gurradh/surprisingspidersilkrdgp4/wish/1110642851 2021-01-21 16:07:00 UTC https://padlet.com/gurradh/surprisingspidersilkrdgp4/wish/1110642851 In this chapter 2 i learned that spiders can glide threw the air by 7 threads of wispy silk and the winds catches that and carry's the spider. https://padlet.com/gurradh/surprisingspidersilkrdgp4/wish/1110728137 What  would happen if the wind suddenly just died down and it no longer blew?

A question I have is, can fish break through the silk to eat the spider? and how many times does a spider have to 'refill' their home with air?

For example, the spiders can have strength, stickiness, stretchiness, silk color. How much of that depends on the type of protein molecule they have :).

Question: IS, WHY is spider silk so strong?
