Despite associating spider with web, not all species produce them. First of all, spider webs are produced in liquid form by the abdomen of these arachnids. Becoming solid upon contact with air.
Silk, by the way, is five times stronger than steel. And, their main function is to provide hunting, as they can trap insects, for the spider.
In addition, spiders control their temperature through their webs. And they use their resources so that the sounds emitted are filtered more easily.
Each species of spider follows a type of shape for its webs, even the circular one being the best known. Some species wrap their eggs in webs to make it easier for them to move around.
Spider webs are also used as a means of locomotion by spiders. And, above all, they serve as a warning so that birds do not destroy them by chance. In the latter case, spiders often leave insect shells so that birds can see the webs more easily.
