It's actually a mass of different spiders. Very rare for different kinds of spiders to group together to form something so spectacular!!
I would love to go see it!!

Re: Giant spider web @ Lake Tawakoni SP

srds,

"How would you like to find that on the trail at nightime"

Have you been to the nature trail here in Lake Jackson at MacLean Park lately? It looks like something out of a Harry Potter movie! Or at least it did...went there about a month ago & haven't had a desire to go back because of the canopy and walls of spider webs. I have been told that they are banana spiders (??)...all I know is that they are yellow & black with long legs (they get fairly big). One by itself is creepy...hundreds of them...NO WAY !!

Talking Re: Giant spider web @ Lake Tawakoni SP

Where can I get one?? After reading this...

“Now it’s filled with so many mosquitoes that it’s turned a little brown. There are times you can literally hear the screech of millions of mosquitoes caught in those webs.”

...I want one for my backyard! Anything to get rid of the skeeters!
