Look at this beautiful, 11ft by 4ft, rare silk textile, on display at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City.
It's not old, it's brand new, although it took a bunch of people 4 years to create.
It's rare because the silk came from these guys...
Each Golden Orb spider, in Madagascar, donated about 80ft of filament per 'milking' (my term), and it takes them a couple weeks to recover.
