A spider party?

[Catherine]

A town in Greece is being inundated with spider webs. There is a 1000 foot stretch of web. It is quite a sight, but don't worry they are not dangerous.  The conditions were good this year so they are eating and mating and generally having a good time.

This is interesting. This phenomena has happened in other places. When the conditions are right and there are enough spiders they go wild with the web spinning and cover an area. It would be really different to see something like this. Why aren't people rushing to take selfies with the spiders.  This is an unusual situation. Most of us will never encounter it. 

I can't picture a 1000 foot spider web. Looking at the video in the article I am amazed at what small spiders can do.  How were they able to cover whole trees with webbing? That is a lot of spider silk!
