Video Title:

Spiderweb and Cornstarch "Duster"

Description:

On a recent collecting expedition for the Smithsonian Global Genome Initiative, a team of our entomologists conducted a two-day, BioBlitz-style, sampling of Southern Appalachian terrestrial invertebrates for genomic preservation! Here, we demonstrate using a cornstarch "duster" on a spiderweb. Puffing cornstarch on a spiderweb reveals otherwise invisible details of its structure. Highlands, NC. Video by Taina Litwak, USDA.
