One time reporter is up to 25m long, super spider is real?
Do you believe spiders can spread silk strips 25m long, like a bridge across a river? - This rough-looking spider species does so.
Darwin's spider trunk (Caerostris Darwini) was first discovered in Madagascar (USA) in 2009.
The female spider can spread silk strips 25m long, like a bridge spanning branches. Their silk is considered "the toughest natural fabric". Females are usually 1.8 - 2.2cm long, 3 times larger than male spiders.
When hunting, they usually wrap a round bun 2m in diameter in the middle of the silk strip across the river to catch prey flying above the water. Silk strips can be spread wide to cover the entire river.
You see the following video to see how the spider spreads "miraculous" silk.
