I want to import them. I want them in my yard, and I want them to scare away tourists.
From wikipedia
>In 2009, workers at a Baltimore wastewater treatment plant called for help to deal with over 100 million orb-weaver spiders, living in a community that managed to spin a phenomenal web that covered some 4 acres of a building, with spider densities in some areas reaching 35,176 spiders per cubic meter
I don't encourage this, but I can't stop you. Tourists are far more invasive than spiders.
That's amazing. I wonder caused them to swarm like that? Weather? Mating flurry? I would've wanted to see that.

Interdasting.
One of these made a web across the entrance to my parents house and waited above it on the wooden part. I would always leave there for work when it was still dark and walked through the web. When I got home from work the web was in the same place but higher. I ducked underneath it and went inside but the next morning forgot and walked through it again. When I got home after work it was even higher up and had giant, white, zigzags across the middle I guess so I could see the web. It happened one more time the next morning and she moved it higher where I wouldn't walk through it and added even more reinforced zigzag symbols. Did it add the visible parts because it thought a bird was flying through it or some shit? How did it know it was an accident or even be intelligent enough to understand visibility.
That is a very interesting report. First time I've heard of something like that. Spiders are actually fairly intelligent. More than people think.
>Did it add the visible parts because it thought a bird was flying through it or some shit?
I haven’t kept up with this field, so I don’t know if the reason for this is still disputed or not. But yeah, one of the theories was to warn away animals that kept tearing though the web (like adding stickers to the windows that birds hit), and that’s probably what is happening in your case. Another theory was that they were a sacrificial decoy area to attack instead of eating the spider.
Might be fun to contact a local entomology facebook group/lab/or something, could be a good thesis idea for someone.
stop shitting up the board with your bullshit and go back.

Farm them and sell their gold silk
That piece of fabric is amazing.
Yeah, I just wish the whole thing would photograph better. All of the full-piece shots look like a wrinkly blanket and it makes it hard to see and appreciate all the fine detail work.
I am hurt over what they made that cloth into. Seriously, what the frick is that? It looks like a hospital gown, and why some random roasty wearing it?
>im so hurt my poor feefees
>how dare they use beautiful fabric to make a beautiful garment to be worn by a beautiful woman
>ooh. oof ouchie it hurts
>Beautiful
Oh no, he's gay.
no need to project anon
>beautiful
anon that's a fashion model, they're specifically not beautiful to send a message
How do you even wash a dress made from spider silk? can you put it into you washing machine or will it simply dissolve?
The washing machine and dryer tends to frick up silk garments, so do certain detergents. Doesn’t really dissolve, but it can warp or rip or lose color. Gotta be gently handwashed, steamed, or drycleaned.

I'll send you a few thousand.
