I read Sprawling spider web engulfs North Texas park trail as Sprawling spider web engulfs North Texas trailer park, and clicked on this thread to post a snarky "Well, that will keep the tornado from blowing the trailers away" sort of comment.

..shuddering.. I know most spiders are good and all, but they just give me the creeps!

well, all except one spider that I’ve actually fallen in like with out here. It’s a green lynx spider that lives on my angel trumpets and it’s just the coolest looking thing you ever saw! LOL! But it’s a jumper so you don’t want to get too close .. at least I don’t. It flat kills all the caterpillers that dare to try and eat my plants, sucks the juices right out of the caterpiller and leaves the skin. Pretty cool : ) LMAO!

I thought of what we used to call ‘tent caterpillars’ as well, but the leaves appear pretty green inside the web, and should seem damaged had it been the worms.

You need to get you a Louisville Slugger to carry when you go out. Just wave it up in the air ahead of you as you walk : ) Also... gives the neighbors something to laugh at. But it works... trust me.

This brought back an ancient (at least 45 years ago) memory. Shortly after this military brat (me) married my good ole southern boy, Mr. RR came into our house after doing some yard work and announced, “Honey, I’ve got “bagworms”. Now, growing up on Air Force bases all over the world, I could identify every plane ever flown, price all items in the commissary, speak fluent German and French, met “Ike” personally, and even had a passport at age two. But, I never heard of “bagworms”. Fearing a dread sexual disease, he took me into the backyard to show me the webs of “bagworms” hanging from the trees.

We still laugh over that. Live and learn.
