It takes about one hour for a spider to construct an
elaborate web of silk thread, called an orb web.
elaborate web of silk thread, called an orb web.
The orb web is the most efficient type of spider web,
since it covers the greatest area with the least amount
of silk. A spider usually spins a new orb web every day
to maintain the stickiness (and insect-trapping capability)
of the threads. Throughout the day, the spider makes
frequent repairs to damaged threads.
