THE PREY ATTACK BEHAVIOR OF ACHAEARANEA TESSELATA (ARANEAE, THERIDIIDAE) [PDF]
Journal of Arachnology, 2006 The attack behavior of the cobweb spider Achaearanea tesselata (Keyserling 1884) is roughly separated into three sequential steps: descend from the suspended retreat, pass through the sheet threads, and wrap the prey from underneath the sheet. The position and speed as the spider descended varied apparently according to prey type.

Super‐Tough Silk: The Potential of Knots in Evolved Spiders
Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 35, Issue 15, April 10, 2025.The toughness of spider silk can be further significantly enhanced if spiders evolved the –currently absent/undiscovered– ability to tie knots in their silk. The results on 393 spiders suggest toughness increments by one or two orders of magnitude and thus a new perspective on how knotting can serve as a key innovation in spider evolution and in ...
