Ok, so I was going to go out to our shed to bring in some boxes with fall/halloween decorations. I opened the door and saw a BIG web and right in the middle was a BIG spider. I tapped the web with a broom and it scampered up to the ceiling. Of course I was intrigued and weirded out at the same time, as I noticed another rather large arachnid in the back of the room. I did not feel well equiped to do battle with the spiders...since I was not encased in some kind of protective attire. I am not "scared" of spiders...I just don't DON'T want them on me. So I left the shed empty handed but curious to know what the name of our new live in friends are. I searched web sites looking for some kind of pictures resembling them but alas I could not. All I know it they are BIG and BROWN and have HUGE webs at least two feet across...AND no I am not exagerating. I will post a picture to prove it...soon. Anyway, whilst looking on the web I came across an interesting story about the picture you do see above. It is from Tawakani park about 50 miles east of Dallas. It is a spider web made of apparetly lots of spiders...like a community. I know it looks like tent worm webs but they are not. Those people that study insects for a living (It starts with an "E" & I have no idea how to spell it) have been studying this location to learn more about it Pretty cool I guess. If you google worlds largest spider web you can find lots of links with more info.Well, that was my adventure today and my house is still not decorated for fall.
