| Research Abstract |
The important issue is to collect a number of spider silk from the viewpoint of the actual use. However, it is very difficult to directly collect long silk from spider's body. The author focused on egg cocoons of Argiope amoena spiders consisting of long silk. As a result, the author has developed a method for collecting long silk from egg cocoons kept in hot water in which a bit of chemicals was added for helping the collection without cutting.
