    Spiders make their silk in a gland(s).


    The external part is called the spinneret.


    Spiders make as much silk as they


    need, so in theory it is possible.


    Here is an interesting piece on spiders...

    I think it would be more efficient making a parachute and floating down.

    Ha ha ha...that would be a funny sight.

    You're solution is quite practical and efficient. The spider would be less at the
    mercy of wind gusts under a 'chute. :)

    Yeah, it would be. For a brief moment I just visualized that...it would definitely be different.

    Imagine that, walking down the street minding your own business, and then, walking right into a large web, there goes the black business suit, meeting just minutes away, explain that...
