An Explanation OF FIoridA's Curious Spider
Web lain.
A subscriber living I'm Gainesville,
Fla, sends to the Scientific American
for Identification n'white tbrcad-likc
substance which he states. fell to the
Garth In large quantities during q rain
on September 60. a sample of the ma
tcrial had already been forwarded by
another person to the Smithsonian in
stitution and was thence sent to DIR.
George Marx, Of the department OF ag-
riculturc. who makes the following re-
port:
The sample OF q white substance
which fell in large quantities in Gaines
vile, Fla, has been handed me Ivy the
botanist Of this department for exami-
nation.
This very interesting material is
without doubt 4 product of the spinning
glands of 4 spider, or rather thousands
of spiders The: chemical ~rcagcncics
prove it is not 4 vegetable matter, but
animal, and the fact that strands can he
dissolved almost infinitely into minute
threads. and furthcr, the great length
of the strands, hundreds. of yards,
causes the Inference that only q spider
could manufacture it.
The spccicsof this spider is unknown
to nc, but it is nottin1prooablc that it
might be 4 Ncpl:ila, n very large orb
weaver, which atounds in,tlic southern
part OF the United States md the West
Indies. - -" 10 -
The young spiders of many genera
avail themselves of their spinning
products to MIGRATE from their birth
place by floating through the air 70
localities ut n great distance. Should
rain mo;stcn these meanings, the spider
web becomes too heavy to float in the
air, and sticking together in great
masses, falls FROM above.
~ similar occurrence was reported to
me from Val!icita, Cnlavcrsa county,
Cal, November 10, 1891. II has oc-
Cured there for the last four years in
October and November"
This is the first time this phenome-
non has occurred in the south. The
web is perfectly white and appears to
be n mixture Of silk and cotton, but
mostly silk.
