Spiders vary in size from the 10’’ bird-eating tarantulas of the rain forest to as small as the point on a safety pin.
Spiders use silk in many ways: for safety lines, draglines, for signal lines, for webs, for egg cases, for holding prey, for building nurseries, for transportation, as in ballooning, and for snaring prey.
Some spiders place these eggs in a well hidden location and some spiders carry the egg case with them until it hatches or is close to hatching and then the female constructs a nursery web for the young spiderlings.

 Spider Crab Research, Spider Crab Biology, Spider Crab Fishery, Maja squinado
Although the common spider crab, Maja squinado   has been consumed in Jersey for many years, prior to the development of a commercial fishery (in the late 1970's), spider crabs were traditionally gathered only in summer either from the shore at low water or occasionally from pots set to catch lobsters.
Secondly, a commercial fishery for spider crabs was established in The Channel Islands in the late 1960's and expanded considerably in the late 1970's.
It should be noted that the decline in inshore abundance of spider crabs during the summer months results not from recruitment overfishing but rather from the interception of migrating crabs, preventing them from reaching inshore areas in the high numbers seen in previous years.

While awaiting prey, spiders are usually positioned in the middle of their webs, but resting individuals may be nearer a lateral or upper edge of the web, where the complex color pattern on the spiders' bodies near the substrate may help camouflage them against some enemies.

Spidery WEB is no longer supported; the lessons learned in its implementation and use have been applied to the design of `noweb', a much simpler literate-programming tool.
All Spidery WEBs assume that spaces and tabs in the input are not significant, except as separators; this makes it impossible to construct Spidery WEBs for languages like Fortran and Miranda, where the position of text on a line is significant.
Spider's major value is that is makes it possible to create a new WEB quickly, and to tinker with it easily.
