A tangled web they weave.Scientists' heads are spinning over a massive spiderweb in a Texas park. The web is as large as two football, fields! Entomologists believe that two types of arachnids created the weird wonder. "At first, it was so white it looked like fairyland," park ranger Donna Garde told The Associated Press. "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." Too bad it won't stick around till Halloween. The spiders won't survive the cooler weather. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] |
