“…For example, spiders use glue-coated viscid threads, which are functionally analogous to glow-worm capture threads, to entrap prey in their webs (Blackledge, Kuntner & Agnarsson, 2011;Foelix, 2011). These silks can remain sticky in variable environments but seem to be optimized for certain humidity levels (Opell et al, 2013;Baba et al, 2014;Amarpuri et al, 2015). Several species of Cyrtarachne spiders, specialized moth-catching orb web weavers, and Tetragnatha laboriosa, orb web spiders that live near water, require very high humidity (100% RH) or face a three-to sevenfold decrease in stickiness (Baba et al, 2014;Amarpuri et al, 2015).…”
