mishalak: A fantasy version of myself drawn by Sue Mason (Default)
I think we may be within a two decades of being able to get commercial spider silk. Why? Because of two entirely separate articles I read. One, from Wired, about a silk cloth made from wild spiders. The other, from National Geographic, is about a largely vegetarian spider. This species, or others like it, could be the basis for genetically engineering a spider that could be raised on vegetarian feed in captivity.
