Discovered by park rangers at Lake Tawakoni State Park in Texas, the football-field sized web is actually the result of millions of spiders working together. Strangely enough, spiders don't normally organize themselves in large social units, though so far their efforts have been incredibly successful.
Described as 'fairy-tale white' by the rangers who first arrived on the scene, the web is now a few shades darker as it is completely blanketed by ill-fated mosquitoes. The smorgasbord will likely continue until the autumn when the spiders short lives will come to an end.

muito bom. parabéns pelo post.
Beautiful but heebies. And jeebies.
Are you sure those aren't tent worms rather than spiders? great pics.
I know that this happened last summer. Are these pictures recent?
Thanks . This pictures are great.
Take more pictures please :) i am loving it.!
Amazing ! thanks for the images
Thanks For these great images and nice research work on spider web.
I believe this to be webworms not spiders. There may have been some spiders taking advantage of the webworms catch of mosquitoes and such. Highly unlikely to be any group of arachnid.
It is spiders of course. The video and more photos of this are on a page I found almost a year ago.

That does look like the worm thing...not 100% clear what they are, but they cover our pecan tree...so I would assume its not a spider web. Someone said earlier tent worms and they might be correct
ya'll stupid... it IS spiders... it's been confirmed by scientists, it's just a freak accident that it happened, thousands of spiders are in that area and were building web after web after web.... and what's even funnier is that there's THOUSANDS of bugs that got caught in those webs, more than the spider can handle LOLOL
yeah it does happen, alot in south america coloines of spiders build it seen on aminal planet
these are webworms not spiders! There may have been some spiders taking advantage of the webworms catch of mosquitoes and such.

Webworm webs are not nearly as intricate as spider webs, as the pictures above show.
Still, very nice pictures though. Thanks for sharing.
