Any web-spinning spider can do it, it is a property of spider silk. When it is said that spider silk is stronger than steel, this does not mean the webs themselves as is. It means that if you had enough spider silk to weave into the same thickness as a steel cable, the spider silk would have a tensile strength five times greater.

Young modulus for spider silk?

Spider silk is incredibly tough and is stronger by weight than steel. Quantitatively, spider silk is five times stronger than steel of the same diameter. It has been suggested that a Boeing 747 could be stopped in flight by a single pencil-width strand. Spider silk is almost as strong as Kevlar, the toughest man-made polymer. It is finer than the human hair (most threads are a few microns in diameter) and is able to keep its strength below -40°C. The toughest silk is the dragline silk from the Golden Orb-Weaving spider (Nephilia clavipes), so-calledbecause it uses silk of a golden hue to make orb webs.~Фродо Скотт

What are Kevlar's properties?

Kevlar is a man made organic fibre that it is extremely strong and tough. Indeed, it is up to five times stronger than steel. When submerged in water, Kevlar can become up to 20 times stronger than steel. It can also withstand temperatures up to 300°C while still retaining its strength properties. Even at -196°C, Kevlar shows no signs of loss of strength. Almost all solvents are ineffective at corroding Kevlar except some very powerful acids. Kevlar, however is known to degrade when exposed to UV radiation.
