They are dominated by a dynamic equilibrium between water in the glue and the water vapour in the air. Much of the water in the glue is extracted from the air, and the ingestion of the web forms a significant contribution to the daily water intake by the spider. The adhesive properties of the capture thread are much enhanced by droplet formation.FootnotesThis text was harvested from a scanned image of the original document using optical character recognition (OCR) software.
