    According to National Geographic, there are over 37,000 different species of spiders, and new species are still being discovered.

    All of these species can produce silk, but only about 1/2 of them use the silk to spin webs. The other half use them for various things - to wrap prey or eggs; weave small, temporary shelters; or create a safety line if they are jumping, Spider-Man style. :-)
