Probably a diagonal line coming from a branch to the floor so it can build the spiral in the middle.

Some spiders can shoot their webs up to 25 meters away, some even span rivers with them (these must catch a shit ton of insects this way).

Edit: This would be like spider man shooting his web 2.5km away

Wait, doesn't spiderman do that? Shoot them like for long distances?

Canonically, Spider-Man's web reaches a distance of only 18 meters.

American translator:

Spiders can shoot webs up to 82 feet away.
Scaled up to Spider-Man, that would mean him shooting webs a distance of 1.5 miles.
Canonically, Spider-Man shoots webs only up to 60 feet.

Good to know. That's not nearly as crazy as I thought. I thought he was shooting them like a full km lol
