One can only hope, I am forever involved in a quest to convince people to stop killing every single spider they see! At the very least one should see them as pest control rather than evil creatures with malicious intent towards humans. If someone sees bats in my area people go, "oh they are good for the environment!" and then they turn around and step on a wolf spider...smh...
now THAT is an interesting use for spider web...I sometimes use widow webs to wrap my bait and keep it from falling off the hook whilst fishing, and because they contain spider pheromones, the fish will bite the silk alone
I wonder if lizard shed or snake shed could work the same way... snip a piece of the snake skin.. it's already tube shaped.. and slip it over the bait and hook.
I can't shake the mental image of a Huck Finn barefoot kid strolling off to the fishing hole with his rod over his shoulder and a long series of trashed widow webs with cheesed off spiders watching him go.I sometimes use widow webs to wrap my bait and keep it from falling off the hook whilst fishing, and because they contain spider pheromones, the fish will bite the silk alone
