Giant web sets minds a-spinning in Texas
Gretel C. Kovach, New York Times
Friday, August 31, 2007

Most spiders are solitary creatures. So the discovery of a vast web crawling with millions of spiders that is spreading across several acres of a North Texas park is causing a stir among scientists, and park visitors.

Sheets of web have encased several mature oak trees and are thick enough in places to block out the sun along a nature trail at Lake Tawakoni State Park, near this town about 50 miles east of Dallas.

The gossamer strands, slowly overtaking a lakefront peninsula, emit a fetid odor, perhaps from the dead insects entwined in the silk. The web whines with the sound of countless mosquitoes and flies trapped in its folds.

Yep, every single on of them. Raised 'em from little spider eggs. Named every one of them after BoT members. Many have the same name with a roman numeral after it. Poppy VII is one of my favorites. He is a hairy old spider. Wink

Hey Neb, everything is bigger in Texas. Even spider webs.

That stuff is pretty cool. There is much much smaller one near my house and the webbing is very thick. But I've never actually see spiders in the web.

Now I want to see that! Up close! That is so cool looking. Very Happy

Here's an interesting link I found that I was going to post yesterday before Neb beat me to it. Wink It tells a little bit more about the spider and has a great picture of part of the web...

That would be creepy enough, but the whining of all the mosquitoes and flies trapped in it would be even creepier.

I'd do this ---> Hiding but that's where all the spiders are in my house! Laughing
