Photo of SEM of the spinneret of an orb weaver spider (Tetragnatha sp.), mag. 600x (at 24 x 36 mm). Shown are the spinneret piriform gland spigots with silk poking out from the spigot tips. Spider spinnerets are organs located on the abdomen that extrude silk for webs and cocoons. The individual spinnerets move independently yet in a highly coordinated manner.
