Seems scientists begin to understand what made spiders create their webs. The earlier spiders had a long tail, that probably was meant for hunting and fast ejection of a sticky matter that insects were hit by. Ejection of messy stuff is common in the natural world: We have that among skunks, lamas, cobras and some fishes and several other animals, I'm sure. The article fails to mention that purpose with early spiders; but I guess the science guys are just holding back... until they are absolutely certain. That's the great thing with blogs; you get firsthand ideas to value yourself.
