I have seen spiders in very thick webs just scooting through with no problem. Today I took a big web and tried ot net the spider, to no avail. WHAT'S THE SECRET?

The spider weaves a sticky web.
To capture bugs to eat.
What keeps the sticky web,
from sticking to her feet?
Spider webs are very tricky,
because, not all the strands are sticky!
Unlike the helpless passing fly.
The spider knows which strands are dry!

i seen this thing in national geographic that showed the science behind a spiders web. The outside of the web, or its border is not sticky. If you are not afraid of spiders, try it. you can touch the outer web that frames the rest of the web without getting sticky. the inside of the web is sticky. theres more to it but i cant remember anymore exact details.

spiders have a certain lubricant on their legs that allows them to not get tangled in their own webs.

its their feet... its either wat the 1st person said or the hair on its legs make it not stick to the web... they can get stuck to the web though...
