A study from biologists in University of California, Berkeley, show that spider webs uses the electrical charge in insects to help better capture them. High-speed video shows how charged insects (a bee, a fly and an aphid) falling toward a spider web deform the silk by electrostatic attraction before they make contact. The final frames shows how a silk thread rapidly deforms to stick to a charged water droplet. Credit: By Victor Manuel Ortega-Jimenez, UC Berkeley.
