Researchers have genetically engineered silkworms ....???!!!!! Theyve managed to get the silkworms to produce spider silk is by inserting specific genes from spiders into the silkworms chromosomes. The silkworms then produce a fibre thats identical to spider silk. All it takes to adjust the silks flexibility and strength is shifting the DNA sequence around ....oh well, phew!! If thats all it takes!! O.o Urgh :/
