Supersaturation with water explains the unusual adhesion of aggregate glue in the webs of the moth-specialist spider, Cyrtarachne akirai

Orb webs produced by araneoid spiders depend upon aggregate glue-coated capture threads to retain their prey. Moths are challenging prey for most spiders because their scales detach and contaminate the glue droplets, significantly decreasing adhesion. Cyrtarachne are moth-specialist orb-weaving spid...
