From what I can see, this is quite possibly spider web silk. It may have gotten stuck in one for a while, old (most likely) or new silk. I don't know of any spider that would eat one, with maybe the exception of some tarantulas. I'm in the northeast and we have none, except for those I keep, but I know none of mine would eat one! In the future if you ever see another one, or any insect that has webbing on it, you can very gently and carefully remove it. I'll often find dragonflies stuck in silk. If it's going to be a spider's meal, I leave it, but just stuck I will do my best. It is very tricky work and sometimes my help or how tangled they are it's not worth the damage. Then I step on it, sounds cruel, but is the most humane end for any insect. Never believe that freezing is best. Ok, I'm off topic 😁 Well leave that for another time.<br />bjcAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
