I am not sure what you mean by "vibrate their webs so fast", you did not clarify that question. There are some things that Spiders do that are considered to be "amazing" and yet it is so natural. Such as to spin a spider web that molecular mass-wise is actually stronger than steel !!!! Yet they can take their web apart and restructure it when it is wind damaged. And who "taught" the trap-door spider to make a home in the ground with a closeable door ???? I've seen some spiders who sort-of "shake" their web strands rapidly, such that it was a blur. Perhaps that is what you are asking? Why they do that, I do not know. Maybe it attracts the curiosity of insects because it is a blur and the insects are more likely to fly into the shaking web strands? Why aren't birds afraid of heights? Obviously, some spiders not only have discovered they CAN shake their web strands in such a fashion, but that in some way it is also advantageous to do so! Since we are not in their realm, we do not know if this is to attract a meal, communicate with sound waves so delicate that we cannot hear them, or to communicate by vibrations through whatever it is that anchors their webs! For instance, it is known that certain baby beatles can make vibrations in the plant stems when they are threatened by a predator, and the mother beatle will rush to their rescue! This was discovered first by observation, then by extremely sensative sensoring devices! So who knows? I am not sure what you mean by "vibrate their webs so fast", you did not clarify that question.

Why does a spider spins its web?

Spiders spin webs to catch prey. The silk they produce is strong and sticky, helping them immobilize insects that get caught. The web also serves as a shelter and a place for spiders to lay their eggs.

The female spiders make neat webs and male spiders make messy webs why is that?

Female spiders typically make neat webs to attract prey and also for shelter. The male spiders, on the other hand, focus more on finding a mate rather than catching prey, so their webs are often simpler and less maintained. This difference in web-building behavior helps each gender fulfill their respective roles in reproduction and survival.


Can grasshoppers spin webs?

No, grasshoppers cannot spin webs. Spiders, considered arachnids and not insects like a grasshopper spin webs. Not all spiders spin webs, but those that do mainly use them to catch their food. There are other insects , like butterflies and silkworms, that produce a web-like substance. this substance is used to make their cocoons though, not to spin webs.


Why don't spiders get caught in their own webs?

The spider has built its own web, so shoudn't it know which parts are sticky and which parts are not? Another way they don't get stuck in their own webs is because their legs are hairy. I personally have no idea how this could help, but they always say that, so you should better believe it!

Why don't hunting spiders make webs?

Well spiders that make webs only make the webs so that they can catch food; I'm presuming by 'hunting spiders' you mean spiders that kill in limb to limb action and/or biting/venom - these spiders kill stuff themselves and so don't need a web to survive... Survival of the fittest and shiz! Yeah that's just my opinion, but technically all spiders are hunters since they eat other animals ;)
