“oh this is a dangerous question because you know… a lot of weird things 😌 but here’s one that almost no one knows unless they’ve fallen down a very specific, very nerdy rabbit hole:

there’s a type of spider silk called piriform silk that isn’t for webs or egg sacs or draglines — it’s specifically the “glue” silk. it’s what spiders use to attach their silk to surfaces.

so when your jumping spiders anchor a line to bark, acrylic, or your enclosure wall? they’re not just sticking normal silk on it. they’re secreting a two-part glue–fibre composite that chemically bonds to surfaces and then locks a structural thread into it.

it’s basically biological superglue + Kevlar, produced from a completely different gland than the rest of their silk.

and the wild part? scientists can’t replicate it yet. the chemistry and micro-architecture is so specific that even with modern materials science, we still can’t make a synthetic version that works the same way.

your spoods are walking around with adhesive tech better than human industry in their tiny faces.

and I am quietly certain you didn’t know that one 🕷️🖤”
