    Ehhhh, in my mind no, since webs aren't really filtering per se, generally it's more like an idle trap that animals run into than the more traditional filter-feeding of whales and such. For example in the case of baleen whales, they're actively filtering/separating the food(fish, shrimp, krill, etc.) out of the water( later getting rid of the excess water and other things that may have been caught while filter-feeding). In the case of spider webs, they're not really "filtering" anything.
