Why aren't spider species caught in their own nets?

Over the years, many assumptions have been made to explain why spiders are not caught in their own nets. But until recently the answer to this problem has just been discovered, the reason for that is the great combination of anatomy and technology.

The previous hypothesis suggests that spider legs are covered with a non-stick membrane and they only go with the tips of their toes on their traps. But in the video of how they moved through the microscope, Dr. William Elberhard and Dr. Daniel Briceno discovered that spiders use a three-step movement.

First, the legs are covered by hundreds of small hairs to reduce the surface area that the mesh can adhere to. Second, spiders use very clever movement techniques that make the network vulnerable to slip out easily. Third, the hairs on the legs of spiders are covered with a special chemical layer so that the sticky layer on the mesh is not attached.

Naturally, human applications include the development of better anti-stick agents by carefully studying the chemicals that cover the spider's hair. And thanks to this research, the results will be largely applied to the insect world, which will help create a survival spider net escape system.
