Watching a spider the other day in an idle moment set me thinking how they produce all that 'silk' for webs. Must need a vast amount of the basic ingredients to store such an incredible amount in their abdomens
I know it's produced as a combination of chemicals but with it being needed all day every day how come the spider never runs out or does it cut out production when food stocks are low.... but then it hasn't the means to catch more food- Catch 22.
Plus it would be awkward to run dry at a critical moment hanging by a thread!
