“Silkhenges” are silk spires surrounded by an intricate silken fence structure. We know they are made by a species of spider; scientists aren’t sure yet if the spider is a described species or not. This entire structure is only about 8mm (.3") in diameter, from Amazonian Peru.

    the spider version of a picket fence and a backyard

    I wonder when the spiders will develop the tech to make seesaws.

      hopefully their backyard tech will develop sooner rather than later I'm sure spiders could grill perfectly with 8 spatulas.
