A '''spider web''' is a sticky net that [[spider]]s make from [[silk]] to trap their [[predator|prey]]. When [[insect]]s fly or crawl into the web, they get stuck and the spider eats them. Most spider webs are very thin, but are also very strong. Different kinds of spiders make different types of webs. Spiders make different webs in different places to trap many kinds of prey.
