The silk of gorse spider mite Tetranychus lintearius represents a novel natural source of nanoparticles and biomaterials

Spider mites constitute an assemblage of well-known pests in agriculture, but are less known for their ability to spin silk of nanoscale diameters and high Young’s moduli. Here, we characterize silk of the gorse spider mite Tetranychus lintearius, which produces copious amounts of silk with nano-dim...
