Canvas Print : A spider in its orb web
Canvas Prints from Science Photo Library
A spider in its orb web
Orb web spider. An unidentified spider sitting in the middle of its web. This type of web, known as an orb web, is aimed exclusively at catching flying insects. An average orb web may contain 20 metres of silk fixed at 1, 000 junctions, yet still weighs less than half a milligram. The web needs constant renewal as its threads become damaged by prey, and the adhesive properties of the viscid, sticky spirals are reduced after a couple of days. Photographed on a peat bog in British Columbia, Canada

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intricate world of a spider in its orb web. The unidentified spider sits gracefully in the center, showcasing its mastery over this finely woven creation. The orb web, designed exclusively to ensnare flying insects, is an engineering marvel composed of 20 meters of silk fixed at 1,000 junctions. Astonishingly, this delicate masterpiece weighs less than half a milligram. The constant renewal of the web is necessary as prey damages its threads during capture. Over time, the adhesive properties of the viscid and sticky spirals diminish after a couple of days' use. This remarkable image was taken on a peat bog in British Columbia, Canada – an ecosystem teeming with diverse wildlife. In this photograph from Science Photo Library's collection on nature and zoology, we witness both beauty and functionality intertwined seamlessly within nature's realm. The spider's presence reminds us that even creatures often misunderstood or feared possess incredible skills and contribute significantly to our ecosystems. As we gaze upon this awe-inspiring scene captured by Science Photo Library without any commercial intent mentioned here, let us appreciate the wonders around us – from tiny spiders spinning their webs to vast landscapes brimming with life – reminding ourselves how interconnected we are with all living beings on our planet Earth.
