As per Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service urban entomologist Mike Merchant, there is a strange new display in the Dallas suburb of Rowlett in the trees. Huge spider webs that are "draping the trees like shrouds" are attracting a lot of attention.

He has told about huge spider web in the university's AgriLife Today. As per reports, it appears that CA Roan Drive of the town has the webs that reach as high as 40 feet into the trees and consist of thousands of spiders. According to Merchant, the huge web structures are not completely unprecedented, however are still not common.

It is yet unknown that which spiders have created the huge webs, however as per AgriLife, spiders that are expected to have created them could be the ones in the Tetragnathidae family. Earlier also, Texas has seen such webs.

Merchant said that in 2007, a huge web that was found in Lake Tawakoni State Park, troubled many people, however it came as good news for spider specialists. According to him, "Finding spiders working together to build a huge web in what was more of a cooperative or 'communal' scenario was a real surprise for many experts".

As per reports, Merchant said the species (Tetragnatha guatemalensis) create webs in cooperation occasionally, in case of availability of sufficient food for the entire population, however that was a rare view in the United States. The arachnologists are using the term “communal web” for citing the huge structure.
