We had tons of various Orb Weavers when we lived in Myrtle Beach. I took care of one that lived outside my kitchen window one summer. She was missing one leg and her name was Natasha. She was a Golden Silk Orb Weaver and about the size of my hand. They are so pretty and not aggressive at all. I had to keep moving the webs because they would build them across the walkway. The webs are used by Pacific Islanders as fishing nets. They are so strong they can catch birds. The silk strands are 5 times stronger than the kevlar used in bulletproof vests, as elastic as nylon, and a piece the size of a pencil could stop the momentum of a fighter jet stopping on an aircraft carrier. Sorry
, I did alot of research on them when down south. All done now - Spider Class 101 is adjourned
