The Associated Press reports that the “experts” just don’t know what to make of a 600 foot-wide spider web found in Lake Tawakoni State Park in the north of Texas. They write, “Entomologists are debating the origin and rarity of a sprawling spider web that blankets several trees, shrubs and the ground along a 200-yard stretch of trail in a North Texas park.”
Well, while the entomologists debate, the rest of us will be preparing defenses in our basement shelters. We don’t need experts to send out research teams to figure it out for us. Giant spider webs are made by giant spiders.
Giant spiders are attacking Lake Tawakoni State Park, putting it under their control, slowly but surely, with their sticky, predatory spider webs. I figure that a 600 foot-wide spider web could only be made by a 50 foot wide spider.
But why Lake Tawakoni State Park? Well, I don’t think that it’s an accident that the giant spiders of Texas have chosen this particular state park as a place to start their attack. Lake Tawakoni is, after all, the primary source of drinking water for the city of Dallas.
Now, think! What else are spiders known for, besides their ability to make sticky webs made out of silk? Their venom!
If only the entomologists would stop their studies and start thinking more broadly, they would see that this is no time to engage in appeasement with the giant spiders of Lake Tawakoni State Park. They have arachnid minds incapable of compassion. They only want to make the people of Dallas their next meals, in a vast chemical weapons attack against Dallas through the drinking water supply coming from Lake Tawakoni!

It’s even more frightening than that.
Apparently the spiders have now completely encircled the lake with their web. People standing beside the lake can see the mosquitoes hatching on the lake, they can hear the mosquitoes, but the mosquitoes can’t get through the web to get at the humans. The web encirclement is complete. So these are encircling type spiders.
What’s more, this particular species of spider is not a social creature, nonetheless the spiders had to cooperate with each other to form the web. This is evolution at its worst. It’s nothing less than a spider conspiracy.
There’s a spider living outside my front door that alternately builds and takes down huge webs. I see tonight the web is back up….

These are not giant spiders, actually the spiders are less than 2 inches long. The spiders that made these webs are normally solitary but since there has been lots of rain the state park, the mosquitos are in abundance, so all the spiders are pretty much tolerating each other for the food supply. There are over 1000 of these little spiders in this small area. C’mon Giant spiders in Dallas? This is the real world, not some corny phobia film.
