Why do spiders never get caught in their webs?
I believe that there are vertical and horizontal threads in the web. when the spider crawls he does it on a non sticky thread. the sticky thread is the one that catches the prey. I dont know if it is the horizontal or vertical thread that is sticky. the webs are very intricate and actually mathematically beautiful. They found years again in the 1960’s that spiders when given LSD weaved webs that were asymmetrical and non functional. asymmetrical |ˌāsəˈmetrikəl| adjective having parts that fail to correspond to one another in shape, size, or arrangement; lacking symmetry : the church has an asymmetrical plan with an aisle only on one side. • having parts or aspects that are not equal or equivalent; unequal in some respect : the asymmetrical relationship between a landlord and a tenant.
