Spider Web
Every micrometre of spider silk is vital to the web structure, which is both, a work of art and a precision-engineering feat. Tougher than steel of the same weight and girth, even stronger than Kevlar, the web is strengthened when amplified by its assigned geometry. In this case, the web was woven by a signature spider and is embellished with glistening, perfectly-shaped dew drops that are themselves composed of fractal patterns.
