Spider Silk
I was amazed when I saw these photographs of woven spider silk currently on display in London at the V&A.
It takes the silk from 23,000 golden orb spiders to weave just 25 grams of silk. These spiders are found in Madagascar and are borrowed from the forest to extract their silk before returning them unharmed.
