How Do Spiders Spin Their Webs?

Spiders spin there webs by starting from one corner, to the next, to the next and to the next till they have made a square, once they have made the square they make the next square inside, and inside that and so on and so on.

Most of us think that spiders use silk only to spin a web. Actually, no other animal uses silk in as many ways as spiders do. They make it into houses, life lines, diving bells, cocoons, "aeroplanes", lassos, spring traps and the web we all know.Spiders are not insects, but belong to a species called "arachnid". Unlike insects, they have eight legs, eight eyes in most cases, no wings, and only two parts to their bodies.

Spiders are found in practically every kind of climate. They can run on the ground, climb plants, run on water, and even live in water.The spider manufactures its silk in certain glands- found in the abdomen, or belly. At the tip of the abdomen there are spinning organs which contain many tiny holes. The silk is forced through these tiny holes.When the silk comes out it. is a liquid. As soon as it comes into contact with the air, it becomes solid.
The spider makes many different kinds of silk.

It makes a sticky kind that is used for the web, because this catches insects. For the spokes of the web it makes a stronger silk, which is not sticky. And it makes a still different kind of silk for the cocoon.Even the webs that spiders spin are of many different kinds. The wheel-like web is the one we see most often. There are also "sheet" webs, which are flat and shaped like funnels or domes. And the trap-door spiders make a burrow out of their web with a lidlike opening at the top to catch and hold their prey. Other spiders build a bell-shaped home of silk which is entirely under water.

They make the strands from their bodies and jump from branch to branch
