Did you know that the spider will build their nests by facing toward the south?

Spider's nest I found on tomato plants in my garden, the image shown below using the smartphone's camera, Xiaomi MI4 with additional lenses and pristine without the editing process.

On this occasion I would like to share some information with you about the unique spider nest, perhaps among stemians still remember one scene in the movie Journey 2: The Mysterious Island, starring Dwayne Johnson, Vanessa Hudgens and Josh Hutcherson. At that time they were lost in the woods in the mountainous area that will explode. Compass can not show the right direction as the Earth's plates move randomly and disrupt the magnetic field.

Then they saw the cobwebs were believed always facing south. From there, they can survive on a mysterious island.

Now, the question is it true that all the spider will build its nest facing south?

The answer : No.

Perhaps for the spiders that are in the woods, mountains or tropical climates nest will apply towards the south. But not for the spiders that were in the houses.

So why spiders build their nests mostly facing south?

Researchers until now have still not found the reason why spiders like to build nests facing south. There is an expert said that it was done so as not blown so it is not quickly broken. But that opinion is immediately contradicted by several other scientists. In fact, the cobwebs will not be damaged if only exposed to the wind. Cobweb very strong. Even when drenched with water even spider webs will not be damaged. Please you try it yourself.

It is still a question. Meanwhile, the spider is in the homes tend to be 'blind direction'. This means that they build nests do not pay attention to the south, north, west, or east, but depending on which side is the most affordable place to make a nest. Although some were still building a nest facing south.

Most likely, scientist is still hold on to the opinion that the South is way better than must be facing East or West. we know that the rising Sun from East to West which means the radiant Rays can disrupt the vision of the Spider. while using the South or North (otherwise), Spider safe from Sun exposure can dazzling his eyes. Spider does have vision that sharply, even have a sensor large can see in the dark. imagine if sensor the sunlight, then he will excess light into his eyes.
