Are you scared of spiders?

Texan spiders spin 'monster web'

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 stretch of trees and shrubs in the park.

Although it was initially described as "fairy-tale" white, it has turned brown from all the mosquitoes caught in its trap.

Experts say the web is either the work of social cobweb spiders that work together, or it has been created by spiders spreading out from a central point.

The park superintendent, Donna Garde, has invited entomologists to the park to study it first-hand.

Rangers said they expected the web to last until the autumn, when the spiders will start dying off.

Re: Are you scared of spiders?

I feel all itchy now after watching that.
I found a big squashed spider on the sofa yesterday right where Mark had been sat. He would've frieked if he'd of seen it. I think it must have gone to run off after climbing onto the sofa but wasn't quick enough.

Aarrgh!
