Linking properties of an orb‐weaving spider's capture thread glycoprotein adhesive and flagelliform fiber components to prey retention time

1. An orb web's adhesive capture spiral is responsible for prey retention. This thread is formed of regularly spaced glue droplets supported by two flagelliform axial lines. Each glue droplet features a glycoprotein adhesive core covered by a hygroscopic aqueous layer, which also covers axial l...
