Even spider webs are bigger in Texas!

Categories: Places To Go, Development, Media

Halloween came early to Wills Point, Texas this year. Spiders spookified 200 yards of trail in Lake Tawakoni State Park by cloaking trees, shrubs, and even the ground with a giant spider web.

Experts say the unusual size of the web might be the work of social cobweb spiders or a case of nature urban-sprawl with spiders spinning webs in an effort to disperse from one another gone awry.

"At first, it was so white it looked like fairyland," said Donna Garde, superintendent of the park about 45 miles east of Dallas. "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."

This amazing trick with mosquito-reducing treat might turn the people of Texas into big spider fans!
