The photo in the article shows the kind of webbing I used to think was made by spiders. The silk strands are usually around 90-100nm, or almost 100 times thinner than human hair
[TIL] Embyopteras, tiny insects, create super fine silk strands and are responsible for webbings I used to think was made by spiders

This kind of webbing can also be made by certain caterpillars.
