Abstract

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.
