According to a Wiki search, Spider silk is a remarkably strong material with a tensile strength superior to high grade steel. Ductile, too, being able to stretch up to 140% of any given length. Spider silk is extremely lightweight: a strand of spider silk long enough to circle the Earth would weigh less than 500 grams .
