Stretched between two fence posts is a spider web, and every strand is dotted with dew that sparkles like tiny beads of glass. In the middle sits the builder, a spider that spun this whole pattern overnight while you were asleep. Around Halloween, we hang fake cobwebs on porches, but the real ones are far more clever than anything in a store.  \nThat clever pattern is made of silk, and spiders squeeze it out of body  \nparts called spinnerets near the back of their bodies. The silk comes out as a liquid, but it hardens into thread the moment it hits the air. A rounded web with lines that spread out like the spokes of a bicycle wheel is called an orb web. Can you guess how a spider walks across its own trap without getting stuck? It steps only on the dry threads, because not every line is coated with glue!  \nThose sticky and dry threads work as a team, and together they make silk one of the toughest materials in nature. For its weight, spider silk is stronger than steel, which is why scientists study it in laboratories. Imagine a strand as thin as a hair holding up something heavy without snapping. Some spiders even eat their old web and recycle the silk to spin a fresh one the next day.  \nAs tough as silk is, plenty of spiders skip the web-building entirely. Jumping spiders pounce on their meals like tiny cats, and wolf spiders chase their food across the ground on foot. Others hide inside flowers and wait, perfectly still, for an insect to wander too close. So a spider without a web isnot lazy at all; it is just hunting in a different way.  \nWhether they spin or stalk, spiders are doing you a big favor. A single spider can eat hundreds of insects in a year, including mosquitoes and flies that most people would rather not have buzzing around. Scientists believe that all the spiders on Earth eat an enormous weight of insects every year, far more than humans weigh altogether. So the next time a real web glitters on your porch this Halloween, remember that its maker is one of the hardest-working helpers in your yard.  \nSpiders and Their Webs  \nName:  \n\n| Solve each problem.\u003Cbr>Use the article to answer the question.\u003Cbr>1) What are the body parts that spiders use to make silk called?\u003Cbr>A.
