I'm seeing "spider webs" as I look up in the sky here in central Texas. I thought I was being nuttier than usual, but my friends in 2 nearby towns see it too. anyone know what is going on?

[nomorelurker]

Here in Georgetown I can see a few. Have seen them very thick like rain or light snow before. And yes it is spiders they do this on clear days like today with a light to moderate breeze after a cold front. Wind from the north so I always thought they were moving south for the winter.

thanks..I've lived here since 80 and never remember seeing anything like this before.. guess that's what I get for looking up :)

It's not a halo, it's a host! Sheesh.

wow. there too?! about a week ago, I saw very LARGE, black spiders in a field nearby. There must have been nearly a dozen of them. And they were just lurking. Now, they've disappeared.

Keyword doesn't say 'darkshearesfault', and I'm in NY at the moment. Seriously, NOT my fault!

Yes it does, we don't care, and I bet it is!

I'm on the phone with my very lucid friend right now,

and where are you on the lucidity scale?

[SittinYonder]

LOL! That was my question. Anytime we see spider webs in Georgia it tends to be spiders.

[the invisib1e hand]

I have read about spiders "ballooning";

Yes, they love to balloon. Especially in the fall at Sandia, New Mexico.

Well my wife is out buying a digital camera right now. So if I can figure out how to use and IF I can figure out how to post pictures and IF when I get home from work the field next to my house has every blade of grass with a spider streamer on it like sometimes happens I will do that.

The camera is being bought because we are going on a cruise and wife took some underwater pictures with a cheap disposable the last trip while snorkeling. They came out ok and for this trip I suggested she get a CHEAP $30 reusable underwater camera like I see on EBAY. So this morning after researching the web she tells be she getting a $300 Canon and will order the underwater cover later. I need to learn to keep my mouth shut.

I almost put out a call for some beeber asistance-but after further reading I see this is not some type of hugh emergency...

carry on

[getmeouttaPalmBeachCounty_FL]

LOL!

Just spoke to the news desk at KCEN tv. They have many reports of this, and are filming the event for tonght's reporte. (Maybe they just wanted to make me go away.)

[F.J. Mitchell]

You're welcome. That occured back in the seventies, when I lived in Eastern New Mexico.

It's not a halo, it's a host! Sheesh.
