Spider Web
A spider web, spiderweb, spider's web, or cobweb (from the archaic word ''Wikt:coppe, coppe'', meaning 'spider') is a structure created by a spider out of proteinaceous spider silk extruded from its spinnerets, generally meant to catch its prey. Spider webs have existed for at least 100 million years, as witnessed in a rare find of Early Cretaceous amber from Sussex, in southern England. Many spiders build webs specifically to trap and catch insects to eat. However, not all spiders catch their prey in webs, and some do not build webs at all. The term "spider web" is typically used to refer to a web that is apparently still in use (i.e., clean), whereas "cobweb" refers to a seemingly abandoned (i.e., dusty) web. However, the word "cobweb" is also used by biologists to describe the tangled three-dimensional web of some spiders of the family Theridiidae. While this large family is known as the cobweb spiders, they actually have a huge range of web architectures; other names for thi ...

Spider's Web (play)
''Spider's Web'' is a play by crime writer Agatha Christie. ''Spider's Web,'' which premiered in London's West End in 1954, is Agatha Christie's second most successful play (744 performances), having run longer than '' Witness for the Prosecution'', which premiered in 1953 (458 performances). It is surpassed only by Christie's record-breaking ''The Mousetrap'', which has run continuously since opening in the West End in 1952. Background ''Spider's Web'' was written at the request of its star, Margaret Lockwood, whose main body of work was in films and who had never appeared in a West End production aside from ''Peter Pan''. In 1953, Lockwood asked her agent, Herbert de Leon, to speak with Sir Peter Saunders, who was the main producer of Christie's work on the stage after the successes of ''The Hollow'' and ''The Mousetrap'', and see if Christie would be interested in writing a play for her. Saunders arranged a meeting between Christie and Lockwood at the Mirabelle restaura ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
