A modified forced silking procedure was developed to allow an accurate study of the tensile properties of spider (Argiope trifasciata) silk, especially the characterization of the variability of the tensile properties of forcibly silked fibers. The procedure involves an immobilization technique that

## Abstract Many spiders depend upon webs to capture prey. Web function results from architecture and mechanical performance of the silk. We hypothesized that the common house spider, __Achaearanea tepidariorum,__ would alter the mechanical performance of its cobweb in response to different prey by
