One of nature’s most beautiful natural wonders, spider webs sometimes feature little extra bits of flair called stabilimenta. The stabilimenta may help move vibrations throughout the web, helping the arachnids find their captured prey. They’re the iconic spider web shape you see Spider Man rock and Halloween decorations embrace. They could help collect water, regulate a spider’s body temperature, or even deter predatory wasps or birds to help the arachnids collect more insects. They also may help the spiders pinpoint where their prey is located by helping vibrations move throughout the web.
