Spiders are organisms characterized by their webs. The method of silk spinning generally determines the shape of the web, which is species-specific. The shape of the web has evolved over time to be the most advantageous for the species in its natural environment. The web’s design reflects evolutionary inheritance specific to the species. Webs are designed with high elasticity and low recoil in order to capture prey effectively. In this study, the web structure and the morphology of the spinning
