^ Frightening that mankind is in charge. Monkeys would be probably wiser in their decisions.

Why would anyone farm spiders? Can't be much meat on them, can't milk them, and I think trying to shear one for its wool might prove difficult.

On a strength to weight ratio, spider silk is one of the strongest materials known to man. So there is a use in 'farming' the spiders for their silk.

But as far as I know, they're looking to make artificial silk based on the natural compounds, and the farming is all done in labs, not in bulk. Nowhere near enough spiders to constitute a farm, let alone one big enough to necessitate a tourist sign!.


Huh.... I stand corrected: https://spiderwebfarm.com/spiderweb.htm
