Cave-dwelling orb spiders have adapted their webs so they act as tripwires for prey that crawl on the walls of the caves ...

In lab experiments, spiders changed how they constructed their webs in noisy environments, and rural and urban spiders ...

The researchers found that funnel-weaving spiders alter how their silk webs transmit vibrations in response to local noise.

Researchers exposed spiders to a range of different chemicals — including caffeine, marijuana, and Benzedrine — and noted how differently they spin webs under the influence of each.

Using lasers, researchers found spiders pluck their complex constructions like guitar ... and even the structural integrity of a web. Scroll down for video The discovery was made by researchers ...
