Old English had two words that both meant 'spider': spinnan/spitra ("spinner") and cobbe or coppe ("round"). So a spider (spitra) can spin a cobweb (cobbeweb). Presumably in an alternate timeline, we say 'a cobbe can spin a spiderweb' and there's a Cobbeman comic book.

A spider in a web, with greenery as background.  I'm the wrong kind of biologist to tell you which species it is, so let's say it's a "tiny brown spider."
