That's a spider web, and it's much more than a spooky Halloween decoration. A web is a trap made of silk that a spider spins to catch its food. When sunlight hits the tiny drops of water, the whole web sparkles like it is covered in glitter.  \nThose sparkling threads come from a surprising place on the spider's  \nbody. Spiders make silk inside their bodies and squeeze it out through little spouts called spinnerets, which sit near their back end. First the silk comes out as a wet goo, and then it hardens into a thread the moment it touches the air. Believe it or not, spider silk is so strong for its weight that a strand as thick as a pencil could be tougher than steel!  \nNot every thread in a web does the same job, which is one clever trick that keeps a spider from getting stuck. In a round web, called an orb web, the spider first makes lines that spread out like the spokes of a bike wheel, and these threads are dry so they are safe to walk on. Then it adds sticky, spiraling threads to catch bugs that fly or crawl into the trap. Because the spider remembers which lines are dry, it can run across its own web without ever getting caught.  \nAs tricky as those traps are, some spiders skip webs altogether. Jumping spiders and wolf spiders hunt by chasing and pouncing on their meals instead of spinning a trap. Either way, spiders are a huge help to people because they eat insects like mosquitoes and flies that we do not want around. So the next time you spot a web glistening on your porch, remember it belongs to one of nature's best bug catchers!  \nSpiders and Their Webs  \nName:  \n\n| Solve each problem.\u003Cbr>Use the article to answer the question.\u003Cbr>1) What is a spider web?\u003Cbr>A.
