Giant Spider Web in Texas

[Rauol_Duke]

The banana spiders I've seen have been quite large. If you mean the same ones, I'm very frightened.

Those are the ones... One of them freak me out, so you can imagine the state of my pants when there were hundreds upon hundreds of them - all above my head.

Um, okay.

I'm going to back out of this thread slowly, without making any sudden movement that might attract attention.

If you think THIS is creepy, you should see the cricket swarms in Dallas. It looks like the walls/parkinglots/whathaveyou are a wavy carpet of brown....

Obviously, a giant communal spider web would do a lot to prevent cricket swarms.

Judging by the responses on this thread, this is probably a bad time to say that I would like to go visit that...it looks awesome. (As does that Banana Spider)

I live in Houston. Anything that eats mosquitoes is a blessing not a nightmare.

I'm, from South Florida, and I'm right there with you! I've seen 100 foot webs from colonies of Banana Spiders before, and walking onto one at night really sucks!

CNN now has some video footage of this web system in Texas.
