dc SPIDER / WEB










I'm not afraid about (the local) spider. 
Really, and I've just found spiderwebs without spider... and gossamer.







 Pretty elastic and resilient gossamer.





 So I've did research about how spiders can do this wonder. 
I do this drawing of a spiders profile with mainly their gland at the back. 
Spiders have a silk gland and seven spinneret at their abdomen. They produce different threads: stabile for protection over to elastics for the spiral to catch. 
Isn't it amazing?!

Thank you very much, dear Renilde for thisweekly drawing challenge's theme! 
I've learned a lot.

For more spider/web please visit her wonderful place.

  3. Yes, spiders are amazing - the strengh of their webs are stronger than steel (in relation to the size). Like your drawing a lot. But I think a few of the webs you've showed are from webs on drugs....
