WIDE VARIATION. “Interestingly, the overall size of different orb webs varies from centimetres to meters, while the ratio of spiral to radial thread diameter varies from ∼0.1 to 1. Concomitantly, the extensibility and elastic modulus of the spiral and radial threads can differ by 1 and 3 orders of magnitude, respectively.”
