even though spider's web is one of the strongest organic material.

i remember a few years back, hearing something about a company trying to collect enough web to make some type of wearable armor. maybe just some BS, but i remember something to the effect it would be like wearing flexible steel. i dunno.

Absolutely Incredible!

They may (I just don't know) but I can't imagine a snake,with it's powerful sensory tongue, accidentally getting trapped in a spider web. So I would then have to assume that she became predator. The snake became bait. Black Widows however do not hunt outside of their web so how did a large snake like that get trapped in a Black Widow web? Of course it has to remain alive whilst she feeds on it otherwise she couldn't lliquefy the snake into something she could digest. What a fascinating story. This is an archive, Thank you so much!!
