A dozen participants completed this week's survey under warm and cloudy conditions. Several kinds of arthropods can produce silk but it doesn't always originate from the same body parts. While spiders have spinnerets at the end of their abdomen and caterpillars have glands near the mouth, the silk created by webspinners (see below) comes out of the front legs.
