How do Spiders spin webs?

Spiders spin webs as a means of trapping insects. They have special organs called spinnerets located in their abdomen. Spinnerets are muscular organs which release the thread, independently of one another. Most spiders are equipped with three pairs of spinnerets. Each pair is fed by several silk glands which produce a sticky liquid that can be drawn into fine threads. The sticky liquid turns into a thread by solidifying on exposure to air.
