The article discusses the discovery of a large spider web in Lake Tawakoni State Park in Texas. The web was constructed by a dozen spiders. Wet summer weather caused an influx of mosquitoes and insects, leading to a surge in the spider population. Entomology professor John A. Jackman comments on the population surge. Colder weather in winter will kill the spiders.

The article offers information on the collection of connected spider webs in the trees at Lakeside Park South, Texas notified by Jeff Reynolds, a resident of Rowlett, Texas.

In this article, the author offers information on the Texas Brown Tarantula, a spider of the Theraphosidae family. He reports that tarantulas have huge snake hangs, beady eyes and hairy structures throughout the body. He reports that they are not considered as true spiders as they do not construct webs instead live in a hole in the ground.

The article offers information about the gigantic mass of spider webs spun in Lake Tawakoni State Park, about fifty miles east of Dallas, Texas. Discovered early in August 2007, the webs stretched more than 250 feet long and 30 feet high, shrouding trees and bushes, making visitors think they were on the set of a Hollywood horror film. There are several theories about the silken mass, but the explanation was simple enough. Spiders, like most creatures, follow abundant sources of food. Heavy rains had pummeled the region during the summer months, creating the perfect breeding ground for mosquitoes and midges, the long-jawed spiders' favorite prey.

The article reports on the mass of spider webs in Texas, which is believed by some spider experts to be a mass dispersal event. Entomologist Allen Dean has identified adults and juvenile spiders from 11 arachnid families after examining a small collection of specimens from the cobweb. Dean found that the most abundant species was a long-jawed orbweaver, which is known to live near water. He also found numerous jumping spiders, parasitic dewdrop spiders and garden spiders, which made him conclude that various spiders are already present in the park.

The article illustrates and describes a massive web that covered several oak trees at a park in Texas. The vast web, once stretching the length of two football fields, has both visitors and scientists amazed. Scientists collected spiders in the web and found 12 different species. A few heavy rainstorms have already damaged parts of the web.

The article reports that spiders in Lake Tawakoni State Park in Texas have spun a web the size of two football fields. Entomologists found 12 species of spiders in the web, which is uncommon since spiders usually do not work together. Entomologist Allen Dean said that spiders in the web do not eat each other because there is so much food available.

The article looks at a gigantic spider web located in a park in Wills Point, Texas. The web covers several oak trees and is so thick in some parts that it blocks out the sunlight. Entomologists, or people who studies insects, have found about a dozen species of spiders in the web and suspect that two types of arachnids did the bulk of the building. Heavy rain has already ruined some of it.

The article reports on a giant spider web found by park rangers at Lake Tawakoni State Park in Texas. The spider web, which was around 200 yards wide, or the size of two football fields, covered several trees, shrubs, and the ground. According to the park rangers, the web acted like a supersize mosquito net. Authorities was unable to determine species of spider is capable of spinning such a web.

The article focuses on a spider-web in a park in Texas. The scientists told that the web is as large as two football fields and entomologists believe that two types of arachnids have created it. Park ranger Donna Garde told that at first, the web was so white it looked like fairyland. Now it has turned brown due to mosquitoes which have been caught in those webs.
