A spider web, spiderweb, 'spiders web or cobweb' (from the obsolete word coppe, meaning "spider", sometimes with the connotation of being a dusty, abandoned web)Compact Oxford English Dictionary: cobweb is a device built by a spider out of proteinaceous spider silk extruded from its spinnerets.
Spider webs have existed for at least 140 million years, as witnessed in a rare find of Early Cretaceous amber from Sussex, southern England.Brasier et al.'' 2009
Insects can get trapped in spider webs, providing nutrition to the spider; however, not all spiders build webs to catch prey, and some do not build webs at all.Vollrath and Selden, 2007. The role of behavior in the evolution of spiders, silks, and webs. Annual Review of Ecology Evolution and Systematics 38:819-846.

- Amazing what kinds of topics you find covered on Squidoo. Yes, the webs are intricate, beautiful, and fascinating, but I still don't want spiders in my house. The video was interesting and kind of creepy. Now I'm going to jump every time my hair brushes against my arm...Still worth a 5 star rating, though.
