). (6) The spider repeated sequences (3) to (5) and laid sticky spirals from outside to inside. (7) After finishing laying the sticky spirals, the temporary spiral was removed. (8) The spider moved near the hub and bit off the radius. (9) After biting off the radius, it changed the direction and attached its spinnerets to the radius and drew out a radius. The elongated radius was attached to the hub (Suppl. material 3). Thus, all radii were elongated (Fig.
