Why do spiders bounce their webs?

The spiders that weave webs use silk to do this. They make the silk out of their own bodies and jump from tree branch to tree branch to make their web. Each kind of spider makes a different kind of web. Some of the strands in the web are sticky, to catch bugs, but some are dry. The spider walks on the dry strands so she doesn't get stuck. The spider usually waits in the center of the web, with one of her legs touching a strand. If she feels the strands jiggle, she goes to find the bug that is caught in the web. If it is just a leaf, or a really big bug that could tear up the web, the spider will cut the strands holding it, so it will fall out of the web. If she needs to rebuild a web, she will eat the broken web pieces and digest them. This helps her make more new silk. Nothing is wasted. (Spider webs are so strong that some native peoples twist the webs to make fishing nets. Others use the web for Band-aids.)

Natural selection allows the well-adapted to survive. Through this process, a little 8-legged creature evolved. This little creature had amazing techniques for catching food and keeping safe. Thus, it was naturally selected to continue and evolve further into many different species. Hundreds of millions of years later, a defenseless 2-legged creature came about and decided to refer to these little, still-thriving animals as Spiders. In sum, spiders exist because they are good at surviving.

Since they have been part of life on Earth for so long, spiders are also helpful to us. Ecosystems have evolved with them. They control insect populations. This means easy, free, natural, and effective pest control for us. Also, only two spiders (black widows and brown recluses) can actually kill you and even for those two, it is extremely rare. A vast majority of spiders are perfectly harmless. So, let's be nice to them, shall we? :)

In an attempt to look larger and more threatening. This reaction could be due to its response to vibrations in the web when prey is trapped. Spiders will shake or sway the web to instigate further reaction from the prey caught within the web or to confirm that it was debris or other environmental disturbances (fallen leaves, sticks, etc.)
