Scientists, who apparently don’t watch B-grade horror movies, have decided that merging silkworm genes with spider genes is a good idea.

On the other hand, silkworms are mass-producing silk-making machines. So researchers – deciding we need more bullet proof vests made out of sticky insect goo – decided to make the Amazing Spiderworm!
