I nabbed two brown recluse spiders from elves, so is there any way I can harvest silk from these guys?

Couldn't test it in time, a necromancer just somehow snuck into my fortress and rose the whole crypt, I only started knowing about it when I found 'bla bla' has been missing for a week. By that stage half the fortress was dead.

Obviously you need only one entry to your fortress and traps. Or wardogs.

I only do have one entrance but I butchered all my animals due to a magma crisis making my booze explode all over my food and yeah, all my dwarves were busy hauling food and bones to their respected piles to notice the necromancer.

Come to think of it, if they were tame you could've put the recluse spiders up for adoption, and you'd end up with that one Dwarf which loves spiders have all the spiders just crawling in and out of his beard...

I did this with silk worms in Genesis .35, it works but you have to keep those goddamn cats away.

I wanted to pit it into a place and seal it in there and come and collect the silk every so often, speaking of vermin, I had a lungfish in my industry which is very far away from any sources of water... ._.

Yeah I had a flock (?) of lungfish fly past my tower the other day. Its 10 Z levels off the ground as well which really surprised me.
