My reaction would probably be a liberal use of flamethrowers, then fall back to a nearby ridge and shell the area with napalm and thermite rounds.

OK, I'm picking up a teensy vibe of hostility here. Find a happy place. Find a happy place. Find a happy place...

“...There are times you can literally hear the screech of millions of
mosquitoes caught in those webs.”

Obviously, this is the work of Conan The Spider.

Same here. I can pick up nearly any critter with no problem and have been bitten by quite a few but with spiders I don’t have an urge to pick them up.

One of Gods coolest creatures in any case.

I’ve seen smaller versions of these here in the big oak trees.

Is anybody sure this isn’t the work of *one* spider? We are talking about Texas...

I have had a lot more spiders and big webs on my ranch than usual.

Could it be that the wet weather has increased the spider population or......

Their Mothership has landed and they are in the process of building an infrastructure that will allow them to take over da Vorld?

I’ll take the Orkin man over a spider, thank you. One spray kills thousands. I doubt a thousand spiders could do in a race of pests so efficiently. Indeed, the spider is little more than an antiquated species with few redeeming qualities....unless youre like my cat who enjoys stalking and eating them.
