Crazy. Totally insane. I don't mind spiders, but this would just be a little too much for me.
I read about this on the Austrian news.

Good to see this, I'd heard about it on UK news, mind boggling piece of work. I saw a couple of communal webs a few years ago but nothing like this size.

I'm the Admin for Natural History Mystery. I reposted from the internet, so that this very interesting event could be shared with the group members.
