P.1520 left column bottom paragraph: "The energy efficiency of the silken web-making process determines the sustainability of the life of the spiders. They may eat their web and rebuild it at a different location at a very modest energy expenditure. A web may be recycled by using only 3.8% of the energy that would be needed to rebuild it from the very beginning, for example, synthesis of the silk for web making [primary sources]." |
