Indeed.... what a nice Trap door... :rolleyes:

They probably just posted the wrong picture.

It's still nice to hear about. I wonder how much they managed to produce though and how expensive it was.

In a Lab close to me there are genetically engineered goats that produce spider silk protein in their milk..

This company was working on getting actual thread out of the collected protein..
