All the drugs tested reduced web regularity except for small doses (0.1–0.3 μg) of LSD, which increased web regularity. [12] The drugs were administered by dissolving them in sugar water, and a drop of solution was touched to the spider's mouth. In some later studies, spiders were fed with drugged flies. [14]
The cobwebs produced by spiders in the genus Atypus, called Huidouba, have traditionally been consumed in Sichuan and Tibet to manage the symptoms of diabetes. Several studies have corroborated their therapeutic effects. [6] Peasants in the southern Carpathian Mountains used to cut up tubes built by Atypus and cover wounds with the inner lining ...
The effects of some drugs can be measured by examining their effects on a spider's web-building. [26] In northeastern Nigeria, cow horn resonators in traditional xylophones often have holes covered with spider webs to create a buzzing sound. [27] Spider web strands have been used for crosshairs or reticles in telescopes. [28]

The post Scientists learned how spiders build webs using night vision and A.I. appeared first on BGR. Spiders can be exceptionally intriguing creatures. Whether we’re talking about megaspiders ...
Sending spiders to space seems like a good idea (because, science), but arachnids apparently have their own notions about living in space. NASA researchers first sent spiders to space in the 1970 ...
Because web-building spiders such as Stegodyphus sarasinorum are quite sedentary organisms that take a long time to capture and consume prey, these spiders are a prime target of kleptoparasitic ants. Ants tend to destroy the web of S. sarasinorum and have been observed to feed on remains of prey in the web as well.
Agelena labyrinthica build flat plate surface webs connected to funnel-shaped retreats similar to labyrinths, which are typically constructed between low lying grass and vegetation. [1] These webs can be at ground level, or up to 1.5 metres (5 ft) from the ground, however, the majority are found approximately 60 centimetres (2 ft) off the ground.
