Reply to comment by LeviAEthan512 in Do spiders always build their own webs, or do they sometimes live in a web vacated by another spider? by GoodAndBluts

I've often wondered, if a spider gets knocked out of it's web or has it destroyed so that it can't be reabsorbed, does it still have enough internal material to make another web?

That's going to entirely vary from instance to instance. Did it eat recently, was it already starving, and so on. They can always generate more as long as the energy is there.
