The golden orb weaver has very strong silk. It’s silk is 6 times stronger than steel. It constantly eats bugs, butterflies, and even small birds! With its strong silk. little neighbors called Clephto parasites are like garbage collectors and they also help clean the web while they eat the remains of the prey. The golden orb weaver also mummifies prey and then goes in for the kill. Golden orb weavers don’t just get their name by having a strong web; it also has a instinct of reflecting its silk in the sunlight and looks like a gold color.
