Abstract
As one of a set of defence strategies, orb-web spiders shake their webs. Other spiders whirl. Mathematical models are introduced which describe these phenomena and throw light on expected oscillation frequencies and behaviour that could be compared with experiments. The models also suggest dynamical interpretations for the design of webs. In particular a new interpretation of the function of stabilimenta is given.
