1.2 How Things are Built in Engineering vs. Biology

Since the nature environment has weather pattern changes, I'd like to see if the web building is different under changing conditions (such as wind/breeze, humidity, heat).

I would be curious to see what would happen if you put something (perhaps different sorts of somethings- is there something spiders don’t like? Or maybe do? Ha~ would be neat to find out) in their web that would not normally be there.
Also curious about temperature. Does it affect the building of the web? Does it depend if the spider is ectothermic or not?
Would be curious to see how a spider may react if it is put in a space where there is already a web built taking up most of the space. Does she tear it down? Live in it as is? Move in and spruce up the place? Ha Id be curious to see.
Don’t spiders build things differently if you use certain spider brain altering substances?
If so, would be curious to see how the spider does with building their usual web (if there is a usual) vs the altered mind spider. Thank you!

If you give the spider different food noms- will the webs look different depending on the prey it ate? If there is a pattern does it change from one prey to a different prey during the same web build?
