Fig. 3. Typical tensile test data for dry MA silk collected from Araneus and Nephila. Traces were chosen to demonstrate the range of data collected. Dashed traces are data from Nephila, unbroken traces are data from A. diadematus. The black circle represents the mean failure stress and strain for Araneus with error bars representing one standard deviation. The black square represents the same values for Nephila. Each sample was from a different spider.
