Experimenters Hugo and Ugochi visit Nina in her workshop and discover how a spider starts its web and builds a strong frame. Next, they find out why the special silk the web is made from helps slow insects down. Finally, they do an experiment that explains how the web helps the spider catch insects to eat for its dinner.
