Spider silk [web, cobweb]

The spider silk is unique in that it is said to be five times stronger that steel. Spider web is made from six different parts of the spider's body. It is very precious substance, so the spider absorbs it back into its body whenever the spider needs to change location. Destroying a spider web bears a heaavy burden on the spider, because she has to reproduce the substance from within her body.
