Like other things can get stuck and not be able to escape, how do they not get stuck?
In: Biology
When a spider spins it’s web, not every strand is sticky. Usually only every other is sticky. The spider knows which ones are and are not sticky and only walks on the non sticky ones. There are in fact 7 different types of silk that they can spin. Some are for catching prey, the sticky ones, some are for structure of the web, non sticky ones. Some are for wrapping their food up and some are for egg sacs. Others have other uses. It depends on the species if spider as to what silk it will spin when.
Not really that hard to find out but they seem to have two kinds of web. The sticky ones who are used to build the circles. And the straight ones which are not sticky and are used to move around in the web.
