Spiders do not drop this. It can be harvested from the purple flowers in the highlands on rag or from killing lymantria

Have you seen those weird looking butterflies? Kill them and harvest them using a chainsaw. You will have enough to make lots of fancy stuff for you and your tribe

Big tip for getting silk in scorched earth: If you use a sickle, there are little plants that spawn just a little bit underground most of the time. If you hit down while moving around, you may hit some of the plants, getting a pretty big amount of silk.

On Scorched earth, Silk can be found on on small bushes that are low to the ground.
