Spiders also weave two types of silk.
Structural silk which is non sticky and has high tensile strength and sticky silk used for catching prey.
Find an orb weavers web and touch the web leading from the center to the anchor points on a tree, flower stem etc.
no sticky, touch the strands in between the structural web and you stick to it. This web model IMO applied to what we are dealing with, strutcural web holds it all together and the sticky catches cabal prey. Break the structure and the whole lot comes crashing to the ground, spiders and all.
