Spiders web threads, SEM
Spiders web. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of gum drops on a strand of silk from the web of a garden orb spider (Araneus diadematus). The silk strands are coated in a viscous layer that has adhesive properties. The gum droplets are thought to slow the drying of the adhesive and to improve the stopping power of the web. Garden orb spiders build their webs between low plants, where they catch flying insects. Magnification: x715 at 6x7cm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a spider's web, specifically the threads coated with gum droplets. The coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) captures the mesmerizing details of this natural wonder. The image reveals a delicate strand of silk from the web of a garden orb spider, known scientifically as Araneus diadematus. These silk strands are not only visually stunning but also possess adhesive properties due to a viscous layer that coats them. This sticky substance is believed to serve multiple purposes - it slows down the drying process of the adhesive and enhances the stopping power of the web. Garden orb spiders strategically construct their webs between low plants, creating an ideal trap for flying insects. The magnification level used in capturing this image was x715 at 6x7cm size, allowing us to appreciate every minute detail. As we observe this photograph closely, we can't help but marvel at nature's ingenuity and precision in crafting such remarkable structures. It serves as a reminder that even seemingly small creatures like spiders contribute significantly to our ecosystem by controlling insect populations. This extraordinary snapshot provides us with an opportunity to explore and appreciate the world of invertebrates while highlighting their crucial role in wildlife conservation efforts.
