- •
Nephilengys cruentata is a spider species found to spin the world's toughest recorded egg case silk threads.
- •
This egg case is found to have an intricate architectural design that retards tearing.
- •
The egg case of this spider has lower strength but significant elongation capabilities.
- •
The egg case architecture forces piling of primary threads, which limits the extent of damage.
