This is a clip from BBC Earth and my main man knight Sir David Attenborough highlighting the web-slinging capabilities of Darwin’s bark spider. The spider is capable of blasting a continuous fan of webbing that catches the wind like a sail and can cross a body of water up to 25-meters (~82-feet across). And just when you thought you were safe from spiders on an island in the stream. Darwin’s bark spider silk is also recognized as the world’s strongest natural fiber. So, if you were wondering what I’ll be sewing my underwear out of from now on, it’s Darwin’s bark spider silk. I’m kidding, they’ll be old t-shirts and bedsheets like they’ve always been.

Keep going for the fascinating video, which does include some closeup web-shooting for you weirdos.
