An undated handout photo supplied Monday Dec. 15, 2008 by Oxford University paleobiologist Martin Brasier showing the strands of an ancient spiders web . Brasier says the web, which is encased in amber, is 140 million years old, making it the world's oldest ever discovered. The dark globules are thought to be pieces of burnt sap.

I read about this yesterday, but didn't see the photo. Very interesting.
Wow... love amber... I assume the sapa became amber. That's so cool. Though I think way back when the spiders were much bigger... ugh... big spiders.. so afraid of them! =D
Wow, that's amazing! We have some hanging on our front window and by the front door that are almost that old. (LOL)
