A fly was caught in the silk threads of the spider's web.


Hi,
Is "threads"  in the above optional? Thanks.

Yep, could be optional. However, a spider web, when u look at it you see the threads, no? If you don't put threads, it looks like the web is smaller, softer, more closely knitted.

Usage question, eh? no right/wrong here

Cheers :)
