What kind of spider weaves webs every day and is very hardworking?

The most industrious local tyrant among spiders can weave a spider web of local gold, and if he catches one, he will make a fortune.

In the huge spider family, there are more than 40,000 species of spiders recorded by humans. Of course, it may grow slowly in the future. After all, people often find some new species. In people's minds, spiders are lazy creatures. When they have nothing to do, they are playing in the corner weaving nets. After weaving the web, they began to wait for the prey to bite. Among more than 40,000 kinds of spiders, one spider is an inspirational example in the spider world, and it is the golden spider.

The golden spider not only has local characteristics as its name suggests, but also is the most industrious spider. However, Bian Xiao felt that their hard work might be a bit reluctant. The model golden spider weaves the web day and night. Their webs are bigger than other spiders' webs, almost one meter in diameter. If humans accidentally touch them, it is estimated that they will have a headache for a long time, not to mention other animals. But they keep weaving webs not because they want to weave a bigger web than other spiders, but because their spider silk has a weakness, that is, its stickiness lasts for a short time.

Think about it. Spider webs are tools for spiders to hunt. If the stickiness lasts for a short time, the spider can only keep weaving webs, so that it can stick to small animals and be killed. The spider webs of golden spiders are very attractive, which is why Bian Xiao said that they are local tyrants among spiders. Other cobwebs are transparent, but their cobwebs are made of local gold and have many patterns, which can weave complex patterns that other spiders can't make. Many bees are fooled by the beautiful spider web of the golden spider.

Although the viscosity of the spider's web is not lasting, it is so high that even birds can stick to it. In beautiful Australia, someone once photographed the golden spider luring a bird with its super sticky spider web, and the bird struggled in the spider web, so the golden spider enjoyed its delicious meal in the spider web with peace of mind. So, even if the creator didn't give them the special skill of being lazy, he gave them the killing skill that other spiders didn't have.

Besides being sticky and beautiful, the silk of the golden spider has another feature that other spiders don't have-firmness. Looking back, we just said that Australian golden spiders prey on birds, and we know that even birds, which are more powerful than insects, are difficult to break the web of golden spiders, so we can guess how tough their spider silk is. Assuming that humans accidentally met the golden spider when it was just weaving a web, it is estimated that it will be entangled for a while.

The silk of the golden spider can be said to be full of toughness, which can be compared with steel wire. They produce a one-meter-long spider silk that can be stretched to at least two meters, which means it can be stretched to at least twice its original length. With such strong and beautiful spider silk, the golden spider can weave a hardcover comfort zone for itself even if it is not used for predation, but only for defense.
