Subject: Texan spiders spin 'monster web'
Written By: Philip Eno on 08/31/07 at 2:51 pm
From BBC News Online:
An enormous spider web has been found at Lake Tawakoni State Park, Texas, US.
It is not the work of one giant spider - rather, millions of small ones have been spinning away and now it is twice the size of a football field.
Park rangers are not sure why the spiders have joined forces - they describe it as a rare occurrence.
Texas A&M University entomologist Professor John Jackman told Associated Press that there were reports of similar webs every couple of years.
The web covers a 180m (650ft) stretch of trees and shrubs in the park.

The full report can be read here.

Maybe it is there to see if it can get a nasty little insect that is indigenous to Texas. What do the call it a bush2?

Well, we didn't make it down because of the storms.
It would have been awesome to see though. Hopefully it will stay together a little longer because I know for a fact that we will be up that way next weekend.... no matter what!!!
Here is a batter pic of it from the State Park itself!

Nope - and not even the torrential rainfall they saw from Tropical Storm Erin bothered it one bit! :o
