A friend who directed me to this several months ago recently told me that it had been withdrawn. (“Canadian Gov’t” logo?) Glad it’s still there. It’s awesome!

O, totally neat!
Encountered this some months before, and then lost the bookmark – many thanks for re-establishing one of my web favourites! Kia ora, cheers - -
We covered this on New Scientist when I was freelancing for them in the early 1990s, great to see live action footage though, thanks.
Speaking of spiders…if you need molecular structures http://www.Chemspider.com has 13 million of them all easily searchable and with a Firefox/Ie7 search addon to boot.
Oh, by the way, I produce a chemistry blog called Spinneret for the site.
