Garden spiders are orb weavers, known for their
intricate orb-shaped webs. W eb building is a
complex process support lines are constructed
first then the radial lines and finally the
spiraling strands are spun from the center
outward. Without training from adults, even the
tiniest just-hatched spider lings are able to
spin silk and weave webs. Another orb weaver,
nephila, builds an extremely thick and strong
web, up to eight feet in diameter.
