At Lake Tawakoni State Park, near Wills Point a town about 50 miles east of Dallas, Texas park officials discovered a gigantic spider web that blankets growth along a 200-meter trail in the North Texas park
"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."
Theories about the development of this massive web have stemmed from the rains which deluged Texas earlier this summer. As any entymologist will tell you, standing water leads to more mosquitoes and other bugs which use the stagnant pools of rainwater as spawning beds. This then leads to more food for spiders, thus creating more spiders to make more spider webs to gross out tourists.
Sometimes I wish we could get some of these spiders to come on vacation with me and keep the mosquitoes at bay. Honestly who doesn't delight in the screech of millions of mosquitoes caught in a giant web.
