Stronger than steel, yet lighter than cotton
Found in a corner, forever forgotten
I bother so many, but marvel a few
You can't seem to make me
I'm a mystery to you.

Spider silk.

Spider silk is one of the most remarkable materials on Earth. Besides being five times stronger than steel, it is also extremely lightweight: a strand of spider silk long enough to circle the earth would weigh less than 16 ounces.

Despite years of study, researchers are still baffled by spider silk and have not been able to duplicate it.

Guess me: Never ahead, ever behind, Yet flying swiftly past; For a child I last forever, For adults I'm gone too fast.

Guess me : I ride forever with the current; down these long canals they’ve made; tame, yet wild, I run elusive........

I ride forever with the current;

down these long canals they’ve made;

tame, yet wild, I run elusive, multitasking to your aid.

Before I came, the world was darker, colder, sometimes, rougher, true.

But though I might make human life’s easy, I’m good at killing too.
