Abstract

Experiments placing β€œcold” spiders on radiocative webs and measuring the specific activity of successive webs shows that silk protein is highly conserved during the web building cycle. This conservation of web protein is not affected by feeding the spider flies or cold amino acids. It is considered that the timing of web eating to web construction is critical to this efficient re‐cycling.

Eight cross spiders (Aruneus diademrus) were exposed overnight (16 h) during webbuilding activity to pulsed 9.6-GHz microwaves at average power densities of 10, I , and 0.1 mW/cm2 (estimated SARs 40, 4, and 0.4 mW/g). Under these conditions, 9.6-GHz pulsed microwaves did not affect the web-spinning
