- Spiders make many kinds of silk. The best known is dragline silk which the spider uses in web construction and also for hanging around. Dragline silk consists of proteins called spidroins. These are made in the spider's silk glands as a thick paste that is drawn into fibers during spinning.Once spun, the silk is strong and very tough.he best known is dragline silk which the spider uses in web construction and also for hanging around.

Silk can help a spider wrap up their eggs to make an egg case, line its burrow, or swing to the ground from a branch. All spiders are predators, and they sport a huge variety of tactics for capturing their prey. Spiders that do not make webs have other ways to get their meals.

- (Newser) – Black widow spiders are known for their lethal venom, but just how did they get so deadly? Apparently by evolving quickly over the years during their pursuit of ever-bigger prey, Discovery reports. According to a new study, black widows and house spiders have comparable toxic compounds in their venom—but black widows evolved faster and became far more dangerous. The common compounds are called latrotoxins; the black widow, however, produces alpha-latrotoxin, which takes over an unlucky victim's nervous system.
