1. spider web

   A spider web is a structure created by spiders from proteinaceous spider silk produced by special glands in their abdomen. The web is typically designed to catch its prey – insects or other small creatures. The design, size, and complexity can vary widely depending on the species of spider and environmental factors. It can come in a variety of shapes such as spirals, funnels, and even sheets.

1. Spider web

   A spider web, spiderweb, spider's web, or cobweb is a device created by a spider out of proteinaceous spider silk extruded from its spinnerets. Spider webs have existed for at least 100 million years, as witnessed in a rare find of Early Cretaceous amber from Sussex, southern England. Insects can get trapped in spider webs, providing nutrition to the spider; however, not all spiders build webs to catch prey, and some do not build webs at all. "Spider web" is typically used to refer to a web that is apparently still in use, whereas "cobweb" refers to abandoned webs. However, "cobweb" is used to describe the tangled three-dimensional web of some spiders of the theridiidae family. Whilst this large family is also known as the tangle-web spiders, cobweb spiders and comb-footed spiders, they actually have a huge range of web architectures.
