Enormous Spiders Web

Don’t visit this Park if you suffer from Arachnophobia …


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. The web covers a 180m (590ft) 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.
