How Do Spiders Start Their Webs?

I am sure you've have looked at those impressive, wheel shaped spider webs so many times in your life and have asked yourself "how did that spider span it's web across such a large gap?" How do spiders build such large webs? Well I used to wonder the same thing for years. One day, I found the answer and it makes a lot of sense. Late summer and early fall evenings are the territory of spiders. They are the textbook halloween predators, and their webs are just as mysterious. To some people, spider webs are....freighteningly gigantic. Webs can be ten or even 20 feet across sometimes, although most spider webs are about five or six feet wide. How could something so small, build a web that spans such great distances? The answer lies in this video. #animals #nature #how

If a spiders web landed on me, and then it bolted at me like it did to your camera, I would just die instantly. Right there. Instantly. Like I would fall over as my skin turns pale and my soul would just evaporate in to the afterlife where it would recollect itself, but just be immediately screaming and running, not realizing I had already moved on.

This is exactly what I wanted to know thank you for this vid. Way too underrated, maybe not enough people ask these complex questions, tbh your first explanation is the one I thought first too hahaha

Interesting fact about these orb weavers: their venom may actually be medically beneficial. Strange, eh?

Thank you. I've recently wondered about how a spider makes it web across a distance. Recently I just missed walking into a large web across a fire trail when out at night. We had walked down the same trail earlier in the evening and as I was shining a small torch on the ground to check for snails (we had found some rare local snails just a bit further along) the light made a small reflection off the web. It was a beautiful spider with a completed web. Thankfully I was able to go around a tree so as not to disturb it. It was a lovely experience.

This is so cool. We have a giant orb weaver outside our living room window, and her web is GORGEOUS! I love this time of year because of all the orb weaver webs we see. I took some photos of some beautiful, big webs covered in dew.

Spiders are great but also they can be a bit much. I like orb weavers because they stay put and I like jumping spiders because they seem more like mammals.

Amazing. But how do they know when the wind is going in the right direction for the first anchor lines? Do they plan where they want the web first or do they just build it wherever the wind takes it? Or maybe they wait until the breeze shifts just right. Still so many questions 😆

I also wondered how they started. Then one night saw how they project silk into the breeze until it sticks to something that creates a high support. Then go from there.

"How webs are started" is actually what I have always wondered but no video actually showed it, they only showed how they weave the web after the basic frame has been set across distant, unconnected points..

Exactly! I was watching how spider started web using wind stream and tiny parachute at the end of thread...I was amazed how spider was aware in doing this! My respect to this highly intelligent creature!

Some spiders can actually spray their webs, just sit their and then boom- like a hose.

That is pretty cool Chris. I find Spiders to be so interesting as well. Many Spiders don't spin webs. Gnaphosids-better known as ground spiders-don't spin typical spider webs. Instead, they catch prey, even those much larger than themselves, by shooting sticky silk to immobilize them. 🕷🕷👍👍

Are these the ones they call pumpkin or autumn spiders? They always start building webs about this time of year around my flood lights and on my deck. They do build pretty large webs and every spider's web is different. It's like some are more talented then others when it comes to the art of their webs. Some just build quickly and it's kind of sloppy and uneven. Then there are some who take their time and their web is perfect and beautiful. I love watching them. They start right at dark and by daylight, the web is gone. They hide under the awning and start again the next night. I never disturb them unless they build right in the doorway. They really are magnificent creatures! 🕸️🕷️

Yes, these and the Marbled Orb weavers are often called Pumpkin Spiders. They can really resemble the color, sometimes. And yes, I have noticed that about their webs, also. I wonder if it has to do with the setting and perhaps any conditions or interrruptions while constructing the webs.

Excellent and logical explanation. But… how about the s10 inch horizontal strand of silk between one tip of my aloe vera plant and another tip? …on my kitchen counter away from windows and heat vents? Or the one I noticed upstairs in the hallway, from the top of one doorframe to another? …like tightrope walkers gear. What the heck? How does THAT happen?

This is so interesting; so if a spider in my house has a line from, say, the top of the kitchen cabinets to the fridge, is that line carried by the AC or just regular indoor air currents?

There is always the lightest breeze. The silk weighs so little, but I am sure there are those nights where even a spider has trouble building something - lol

One tried to build a web in my room. First thought it was climbing up to the ceiling but then noticed it kept falling to this tiny white dot and climbing up. Felt kind of bad but there was no way I was going to let it build a web

Here in Florida we have the golden orb spider, aka banana spider. Huge spider, body is the size of my thumb, legs extend like my fingers. They make beautiful large webs. When we go horse back riding, I make my husband lead so he can get the webs first! I am not so keen of them on my face and not sure where the spider is! By the way we have two webs near our barn and will not knock it down cause they are cool to observe.
@tylersaysno400

So when you randomly see a spider crawling up a random web in the woods, I’m assuming it’s because the web they weaved didn’t hold up as they walked across it? I’m assuming? Anyone else seen that before?
@chrisegnoto
@chrisegnoto 7 месяцев назад
Yeah, sometimes that is the case, sometimes it was a safety line or an exploratory line, if you will
