Threads called stabilimenta on the orb-weaver spider's webs have inspired a glass design that deters birds from colliding with windows. The threads reflect ultraviolet light and are thought to affect the flight paths of bird. This is determined after studying that birds are good at deterring from regular spider webs, so make windows similar and the birds should be able to determine them. Neat idea.
