Spiders Built Massive Communal Webs In Texas
- 9 years ago
In the Dallas suburb of Rowlett, thousands of tiny spiders have covered a series of trees with webs in a communal food-catching effort that has some residents a bit freaked out.
Typically, you'd see a spider working by itself to build a web.
However, on a football-field length of CA Roan Drive in Rowlett, Texas, thousands of spiders have come together to build a massive series of communal webs 40 feet into the trees.
The species of spider responsible for the community-oriented web construction is not yet known, but is likely to be a member of the Tetragnathidae family, who made similar shroud-like work in neighboring Lake Tawakoni
