A summary of spider roles in agriculture and science describing pests eaten by spiders, venom studies, and the strength and uses of spider silk. It covers silk production, potential materials for bridges and bulletproof vests, and sensory abilities including eyes, vibrations, and chemical detection on feet.
Spiderlings emerge from egg sacs and use silk as parachutes to travel. Mothers attach sacs, carry hatchlings briefly, or leave them to fledge on their own. The Smithsonian exhibit SPIDERS! runs in Washington, D.C. until Jan 2 and will visit 10 other cities.
