      one can tell the difference by the strength and weight, spider silk is strong as fuck and doesn’t really float in the air, whereas dust strings have 0 resistence and will float around on the slightest air current.

        Well I mean these dust strings look nothing like something a spider would bother pulling out its ass, you know?

      Nope, never happened to me, in any of my abodes. Are you American? Maybe it’s a wood house thing?I get balls of dust and hair in areas that are hard to clean, like under low furniture, but I’ve never seen strings
