What are the advantages of spiders?

Spider silk is the hardest natural biopolymer. Its strength is six times that of steel, and it still maintains good elasticity at MINUS 60℃. Spider silk also contains antiseptic substances, which can keep spider silk from mildew for a long time. If we can get a lot of spider silk, we can produce "biological steel" that is both soft and strong.

This kind of "biological steel" can be used to make body armor, parachutes and weapons such as airplanes, tanks, radars and satellites. It can also manufacture high-strength protective clothing, sports equipment, artificial bones, wheel tires, high-strength fishing nets and so on. Medical devices such as artificial joint ligaments and artificial tendons made of spider silk and human tissues will hardly produce rejection reaction.

In a word, "biological steel" made of spider silk can be widely used in modern textile, military, medical and other fields and become a new generation of advanced biomaterials.

According to the British "Daily Mail" reported on August 6, scientists warned that if you are afraid of spiders, don't wear green clothes. A study shows that tarantulas are interested in green. Scientists have found that arachnids are essentially color blind and only sensitive to light with green wavelength. Spiders are attracted to green because their vision is best suited to this color, which makes it easier to hunt or find a mate.
