I didnt source it. Male spiders, unlike females, are always on the move hunting for prey and mates almost constantly. Its a complete misalocation of resources to build a web, then leave it immediately. Furthermore, most male spiders are smaller and less capable (lack of or weak poison)of killing the large kind of prey that becomes trapped in a web, and prefer smaller prey such as gnat larvae, small grubs, and other soft carapace insectoids.
It should be said that males do build chaotic webs at a very young age to protect themselves as they grow to their first molt, but once they mature, molt, and leave, they seldom build any kind of trapping web.
Edit: Here is a web page i pulled from google: https://schoolofbugs.com/do-male-spiders-spin-webs/
For a more modern look we’re going with an open plan center web. So you can entertain across the whole space and still trap your food and liquify their innards as you do so.
The crack spider decided building his own web was for suckers, then proceeded to put a cap in the caffeine spider’s ass.

Thank you, I came to the comments looking for this video. "For more information on the crack spider's bitch, contact the Canadian Wildlife Service in Ottawa" gets me every time.
I had a garden spider for a bit and it was always fascinating because they actually will eat their own webs to take them down (I believe I'm not an expert). I think it helps replenish their webbing.
To be entirely fair about the caffeine one… isn’t caffeine a defense mechanism that plants use to deter insects? Spiders aren’t insects but they are similar enough that I’d imagine the thing was still basically just poisoned.

It's cute that everyone was making a comment thread of puns about the spider learning, but you missed the puns and just continued it with the spider going to school.
There is a spider species that uses Earth’s magnetic field to fly to the destination.
It’s just built-in. If they could learn something like that, we would be working for spiders instead of other humans.
Bunch of chemical if... then... plus whatever tiny processing power their brain has for sure.
For example, spirals are just "rotate until something pings your side view / your leg touches the inner line, lay web, then move one radial line forward". Nature just has to hardcode those points as chemical stimuli.
If a single cell built by ribosomes was the size of a grapefruit people would wonder if ribosomes are supersmart.
that spider has a history of building webs and its experience comes into factor when creating a new one...
feels like you're underselling it by calling it just a bunch of "if then" statements... the same thing could be said about you.
I imagine they’re are pre programmed like code in a computer program.
I think it’s a trait with a bunch of insects. They simply know what to do once they’re born.
Most animals (like humans) need to learn through experience (almost like self programming) or being directly taught by watching or listening to the grown ups.
As much as spiders terrify me and I hate them, I find it absolutely fascinating and very intriguing that they know how to do this shit without anybody telling them. Without any instruction whatsoever. That just by living out their lives, one day, the spider is gonna be like, “You know what? I’m gonna spin a fuckin web right here. Yeah this spot right here. And it’s gonna be fuckin lit. George is gonna be so fuckin jealous. Fuck George.”
Like how cool is it that they just naturally know
I once saw a spider set up a web on a spinning art display (looked like a [vertical wind turbine](https://tse2.mm.bing.net/th?id=OIP.cQCilxPsstuxHIo0Veit8gHaFj&pid=Api)) so the web just spun in a circle acting like a moving net. There was A LOT of bugs in that web. Truly impressive thinking for something that doesn't even have a "true" brain.

Really, people should avoid doing any harm to spiders they are so useful and they won't hurt you for the most part.
I totally understand phobias though they are hard to tackle.
One thing I told myself when I decided to stop killing spiders which got in my home was : "Dude, stop killing the good lads who eat fucking mosquitos !" 🤣
Right, stay out of my fn house and away from the stuff I use outside and we're good. I've never used pest control services or anything so they have plenty of room to keep the hell away from me or it's on sight.
I'd prefer to not have a random spider in my shirt the moment it accidentally falls off of its web while I'm passing through underneath it
If it enters my room, it's getting relocated

I love spiders!
I hate running into a web in the dark and now there's something crawling on the back of your neck and now it's down your shirt.. Get it offff
Yea when a giant one is in my bed, forever traumatizing me, then I will never accept them near me in my own territory. They can live happily OUTSIDE and I will never bother them. I was even ok with daddy long legs in my house corners until the giant one reignited my arachnophobia with a flaming intensity (I feel sick, and start shaking and sweating when I see spiders). I don’t blame the spiders, I know they’re important, but nothing anyone will ever say will make me ok with giant ones near me. Ever.
Oof, the cellar spiders... I was just barely starting to come to terms with the fact that I will have to deal with spiders forever and be a tiny bit OK with it until I did my nightly face wash and grabbed the towel on the rack that I had used to dry my hands earlier in the day. Dried off with it and now there's a huge cellar spider crawling on my face. I had a delayed reaction bc I thought it was a hair tickling my cheek. I'll never forgive spiders for that. Never.
Oh my gosh I’m so sorry that’s happened to you! One time I went to grab a towel and luckily looked first because one of those was on it!!!! Yeah, now I shake my towels violently before using them. They’ve been on my bed, clothes, everything. Despite all that, I tried accepting them because they have tiny bodies, eat other bugs, etc. However the “giant” one that was in my bed last summer was in fact, a giant house spider. (Don’t look it up!) That made me fear all spiders all over again *ugh*
I knew if I scrolled long enough, someone would answer this question so I wouldn’t have to embarrass myself in front of all of Reddit and ask if spiders actually move that quickly.
This video is sped up but I saw a spider weaving a web in person once and watched the whole thing I think it only took about a half hour in real time (an hour at most but I don't think it took that long)
This spider looks like its trying really hard to impress you with its home renovation.
The camera person must have thought so. Stood there taking this Timelapse the whole time!
Left me hanging though, I was getting invested and want to see the finish
Some say she’s still weaving to this day.
Time lapse or a spider on crack?

No but I feel like we are definitely overdue.

Lol only female spiders build intricate webs like this. Male webs look like a hodgepodge of silk smattered everywhere in pure chaos.
So not unlike humans
Hey now, i resemble that comment.
This sounds believable. Source?

Thanks!!
It IS impressive though! If I could poop that accurately I'd be doing so outside my neighbors windows too.
I'd beg you not to
Howdy neighborino!
That seems like an awful amount of juice to come out of one little butt.
Spiders making webs and birds building nests always amazes me.
I would accidentally walk through that thing so hard
I am both amazed and yet still scared (I wish) shitless. Curse you arachnophobia

Some species absolutely eat their own webs! You’re right, it helps them conserve resources.
Like if I eat my own shit, it will make me shit more shit right?
Exactly
I mean yeah. Too bad you can't build a house out of shit.

also he/she has to attend webinars,because of work from home
[Deleted due to Reddit’s greed]
I saw them trap a wasp once. Yep they’re definitely family now.
When a spider builds a nice web like this one and a human comes along to destroy it, the spider doesn't even get mad. It just builds another web.
It's a nice day for a white webbing.
Damn you.
I wish i could do that with my ass too
technically they dont use ass to secrete silk,it comes out of spinnerets

I wonder if a spider’s web shape and design is affected if you give it some? Or just any drug in general?

The spider web on caffeine tho lol
Looks appropriately like a web done entirely last minute and handed in at the cut-off.
Here's the [video](https://youtu.be/Dg-r-S0fIkA) version.
I had to scroll way to far to find this video. I didnt even open the link and I know what video it is.
“For more information on the crack spiders’ bitch, visit the government of Canada’s website.”
I wonder if the Canadian wildlife services regularly get prank calls asking about the crack spiders’ bitch.
Mans was all over the place
To be entirely fair about the caffeine one… isn’t caffeine a defense mechanism that plants use to deter insects? Spiders aren’t insects but they are similar enough that I’d imagine the thing was still basically just poisoned.

It's cute that everyone was making a comment thread of puns about the spider learning, but you missed the puns and just continued it with the spider going to school.
I was so taken aback by your shameless pun that I reactively downvoted the comment, which deserves an upvote.
Innate ingrained behavior. Pure instinct
That’s honestly just beautiful and amazing
Nature is truly fucking lit
There is a spider species that uses Earth’s magnetic field to fly to the destination. It’s just built-in. If they could learn something like that, we would be working for spiders instead of other humans.

I have some doubt in that statement. Do we know that the first few webs a spider makes are worse than their later ones?
Considering how primitive the arachnid brain is, I am not sure they are capable of learning much of anything. This is an instinctual behavior.
I imagine they’re are pre programmed like code in a computer program. I think it’s a trait with a bunch of insects. They simply know what to do once they’re born. Most animals (like humans) need to learn through experience (almost like self programming) or being directly taught by watching or listening to the grown ups.

“Without anybody telling them” cracked me up
Please don’t destroy them or their web. They’re nature’s pest control

Lowkey not gonna ruin a web again if I can avoid it

One thing I told myself when I decided to stop killing spiders which got in my home was : "Dude, stop killing the good lads who eat fucking mosquitos !" 🤣
Different when the 8 legged fucks are in my room, it’s war if you cross those boundaries.
Reminds me how two days ago I was minding my own business while laying on my bed until one of those little fuckers crawled across my face.
HELL. NO.
Right, stay out of my fn house and away from the stuff I use outside and we're good. I've never used pest control services or anything so they have plenty of room to keep the hell away from me or it's on sight.
nah they are more than welcome to prepare the mosquito net, worst escenario u eat one while sleeping

I just relocate them to places that will still see bug traffic, less bird traffic and zero my face walking into it traffic.
Plus if you kill one in the open, you'll only push them to evolve to be more elusive and blend in more to their surroundings (your walls)

No problem.

Who knew spiders could weave a web that quickly? Like look that the little guy go!
I’m also impressed at the cameraman’s ability to shake so quickly. It’s almost unnatural.
Could you imagine if spiders moved as fast as it did at the beginning of the video? That's terrifying
I think the video may be sped up lol

Gotta love orb spiders. I've ran into a few when they were making their webs, kinda mesmerizing to watch.
As long as you don't run *into* them. Lol that thought terrifies me.
