This report on a 4-acre spider web covering a building has made shiver and curl in disgust. You are looking at the Baltimore Wastewater Treatment Plant, where 4 acres of their facility were covered by a spider web made by an estimated 107 million spiders. That's 35,176 spiders per cubic meter!
quote:
We were unprepared for the sheer scale of the spider population and the extraordinary masses of both three dimensional and sheet-like webbing that blanketed much of the facility's cavernous interior. Far greater in magnitude than any previously recorded aggregation of orb-weavers, the visual impact of the spectacle was was nothing less than astonishing.
In places where the plant workers had swept aside the webbing to access equipment, the silk lay piled on the floor in rope-like clumps as thick as a fire hose.
That web is pulling on the lamp

[quote107 million spiders[/quote]
Which makes 856 million legs.
More than the total of human legs in the US.

Orb-Weavers...
Harmless and eat all the bad bugs.
again, they are HARMLESS to people and great at eliminating the bad guys!
trust me, I once ventured into r/spiders and they damn near made me doubt my purpose of living when I told them I killed a huge orb-weaver
