Spider web Spiders produce silk from their spinneret glands located at the tip of their abdomen. Each gland produces a thread for a special purpose â€“ for example a trailed safety line, sticky silk for trapping prey or fine silk for wrapping it. Spiders use different gland types to produce different silks, and some spiders are capable of producing up to eight different silks during their lifetime.[7]
