Quick Question...

Can spiders run out of silk? Just wondering. :huh:

I am sure they can't!

As long as the spider is eating it won't run out of silk. Most if not all spiders actually eat thier silk from a web before moving on to another location.

Most web-making spiders like orb weavers spin a brand new web every morning, eating the previous web to save silk.

Okay, thanks. I thought it had something to do with eating. Now that I think of it, a couple years ago, there was a huge brown garden orb weaver that built a web across the kitchen window on my house. I saw it eat the old web and build a new one every night. It caught lots of bugs (Mostly moths) because of the light coming from the kitchen.
