Those single strands are to keep the web up. Kind of a big deal to spiderbro.

This'll of course depend on the species, but usually the super long ones that people walk in to are the strands they use to get to a spot of their own after hatching. Many spiders just sort of yeet themselves to the wind after they hatch, attached with just that one single strand – that way all the hatchlings don't just build their webs in the same spot. A huge percentage of them don't make it, but that's the r reproductive strategy for you

I, too, have watched Charlotte's Web

I, on the other hand, had no idea what that is. Apparently one of the filmatisations of the American children's book by the same name?
