The thick substance being ejected, are you sure its web? If she's still alive I would check her thoroughly with a microscope or magnifying glass. Could be many things, old age, mite infestation, nematodes, cancer, falling trauma, etc. Or you might find nothing. It happens. Sometimes they just sicken and die for no apparent reason.</p></blockquote><p></p>
