Heads spinning over 200-yard spider web
:wow:

Lake Tawakoni State Park rangers Mike McCord, left, and Freddie Gowin monitor a giant spider web at the park Tuesday near Willis Point, Texas.

WILLS POINT, Texas — If you hate creepy-crawlies, you might want to avoid Lake Tawakoni State Park, where a 200-yard stretch along a nature trail has been blanketed by a sprawling spider web that has engulfed seven large trees, dozens of bushes and the weedy ground.

If you hate mosquitoes, you might just love this bizarre web.
