Spiders

By
Managing Real Estate Broker with Fathom Realty PB00068179

 

Spiders anyone?

 

I want this to be information one just usually doesn’t hear.  If you have I would like to know if you haven’t all the better you’ve learned something today.  With that being said here is the information for you to consider today.

 

Only about half of all spider species spin webs to catch their prey.  As you know all webs are made of silk.  The strands of silk are about .00012 inches in diameter.  Strand for strand it is stronger than steel of equal diameter.  It is also bacteria and fungi resistant. 

 

Now go out and tell the world of your new found knowledge.  Smile it will make people wonder what you’ve been up to.  Join us tomorrow for another journey into the wonderful world of Wordsmith.  Click on the link below.  Who knows you may learn something along the way and some of the words may even bring a smile to your face.

James, I hate spiders, however I once saw a very large black spider. It looked unreal as it was so perfectly formed - actually very beautiful. I had to get up close to see if it was one of the children's fake rubber bugs. It scared the wits out of me when it moved. Have  nice Saturday, James.

Good morning James. I guess it is getting harder to do these because you are down to one a post. I didn't know the web was made of silk.

Hey James-the only spider I am fond of is Spiderman. I never harm the little creepers and appreciate all they do but-yuck!

If only half of the spiders weave a web, are the other half males who are killed by the weavers themselves? Hey, I'm all out of spider spit, can you lend me some of yours?

Wow, that is a great photo of a spider that Bob posted. I hate spiders and when I see a spider web, down it goes.
