The Amazing Spider-Decorator: Why arachnids are nature's best interior decorators

Sardinian spiders are decorating their webs with elaborate patterns, baffling scientists for years. New research suggests these 'stabilimenta' aren't just for show but act as acoustic architecture, redirecting vibrations to help spiders detect prey faster. This discovery could inspire advanced vibration sensors for human technology.
