giant spider web found in Texas

[graflok]

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.

I'd hate to meet the spider that spun this thing:

Interesting. Maybe some of them moved to Texas during hurricane season.
