Bolas spiders use a long line of silk ended with a spot of sticky glue (a bolas), swinging it at nearby moths to catch them, much like a fishing line.6For its weight, spider web silk is actually stronger and tougher than steel.?7There are over 100 species of spiders that mimic ants by having evolved similar appearances and even similar pheremones.
