Spiders shoot their webs through the air from their spinnerets.

the verdict
INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
2 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that spiders shoot their webs through the air from their spinnerets?

Unclear. Two sources describe spiders releasing silk threads from their spinnerets into the air for ballooning dispersal, which partially supports the idea of silk being sent through the air from spinnerets, but neither describes spiders shooting webs at targets.
