This is my third attempt at trying to get the image working!!!! This photo was taken at Wagga Wagga and no it is NOT snow. It is spider's webs. I am so glad I don't live there. I HATE spiders

Wow! Actually spiders don't bother me. I'm often on spider patrol in my daughter's bedroom! LOL.

That pic is amazing. Spiders don't really bother me either - I have a Lakeland spider-catcher to help! - although I wouldn't like them crawling over me. Their webs are amazing. I wonder how long they'll last in that field.

Cool picture! Webs are truly one of nature's marvels. I'm not too bothered by spiders, either (as long as they're not crawling on me). It can be interesting to watch them build their webs.

Vanessa, my daughters are spider phobic too. They won't play in their playhouse outside if they detect even a remnant of spider webbing. We have to blow it out with the leaf blower now and then to keep them happy.

Amazing picture! Spiders don't bother me much either, but how many did it take to make all those webs? At least the people of Wagga Wagga won't have many problems with mosquitoes.

I remember my sister describing a march of tarantulas when she lived in Arizona. Apparently, every now and then, the little dears just up and march out of the desert.

I never minded spiders until we lived on the North Shore of Oahu and went through nine months of cane spiders. Mind you, they're not poisonous or dangerous but they are very large and...well, let's just say, I now have a severe phobia to eight-legged critters. Insecticide didn't phase them so Mother used a broom to deal with them when they got into the house. She took to notching the broom handle at my elder brother's suggestion. By the time we moved to the leeward side of the Island, there were 69 notches on that broom.

I'm glad the folks in Wagga Wagga won't have to worry about mosquitos but I'm glad I don't have web drifts all over my yard.
