Spider's handiwork is the webs and webs that spiders create. Webs are intricate structures made of silk that spiders use to capture prey, while webbing is a less complex structure used for protection or as a platform for resting. Spider webs are made up of sticky strands of silk that spiders produce from their spinnerets. The webs are designed to trap insects, which the spider then wraps in silk and consumes. Webbing is a less complex structure made of non-sticky silk strands that spiders use for protection or as a platform for resting.
