The golden Orb Spider has long been desired as an object for silk production. Now the spider is being used to make silk in a massive way. Will it too be used to death like the humble honey bee?
""And what became of the spiders, without whose very personal contributions the textile would not have been possible? While some died in its production, Mr. Godley and Mr. Peers said they set up a system in which the spiders being used were released daily, and detailed spreadsheets were kept to chart the number of spiders used, their yield and the casualty rate.""
