How is a cob web formed? I understand it has something to do w/dust. But, what makes the "web"? Surely there isn't a "cob spider", or is there? I have yet to see a spider on a cob web! Hmmm?

Cobweb comes from the Middle English or Middle Dutch word for spider,
coppe, + web.

All a cob web is is a spider web that has picked up the dust particles in the air.

I believe that cob webs are "traveling threads" that spiders leave behind as they move around the room.They're quite different shape than real webs.
These threads hold on to dust and appear larger than they really are.

Corn on the cob. They make them while on their down time.

Cobwebs are abandoned spiderwebs that collect dust...
