AnswerA spider has special glands that produce an oil like material that does not stick to their own web. I am guessing these are located somewhere near their feet since these are the parts that come in contact most with the web. Not really an answer, but still!Next time you see a spider web, try touching the very center of it where the spider sits. It shouldn't be sticky. Also, when the spider is in the web, try plucking the threads. The spider will come rushing to that point to fix it.
