Gossamer Silk, From Spiders Spun

This is just amazing. Silk made from spider webs - mind you 11 feet long! This article from the NYT today shows a picture and give the account of how this silk cloth got here.

The American Museum of Natural History is the proud sponsor of this amazing Exhibit - click it and see the video about this amazing feat of man and beast.
This pic is from New Guinea. Thank you Tumaren for this picture.
