Why don't spiders get stuck in their own webs? — Peyton of Stevenson, AL

Dear Peyton,

Scientists believe there are at least two reasons why spiders don't stick to their webs. First, some spiders have oil on their bodies. The oil is slippery, so the web won't stick to it. Second, since spiders build their own webs, they know which strands of silk are sticky and which ones are not. They stay away from the sticky strands.

This is another neat example of God's wisdom. Even though the spider needs a sticky web, God made it possible for the spider to avoid getting stuck!
