Although the physical and biological functions of the skin layer of spider dragline have been studied and partially clarified, the morphology and elemental contents of the skin layer of silk fibers have not been investigated in detail to date. Here, the surface of Nephila clavata spider dragline was evaluated by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) to obtain clear surface morphological and molecular information. The FE-SEM images of the spider dragline indicate that the spide
