Evidence of the Most Stretchable Egg Sac Silk Stalk, of the European Spider of the Year Meta menardi
Spider silks display generally strong mechanical properties, even if differences between species and within the same species can be observed. While many different types of silks have been tested, the mechanical properties of stalks of silk taken from the egg sac of the cave spider Meta menardi have...
