Webs Cover Downtown Dallas as Spider Migrate; Is Spiderman in North Texas?

It's the long and silky strings that keep floating in the air are the ones that are bothering those living in North Texas. The mystery behind it? They are spider webs that are actively migrating to safer grounds and it is shocking most Texans.

One resident by the name of Myrna Olivas told CBS Local that she first noticed the webs while she was driving her son to school. "I thought it was weird; I'd never seen it before," she recalled.

The natural yet mysterious phenomenon was first observed on Wednesday morning. It is called as ballooning webs that are created by young spiders that are in the process of migration. Texan agriculturist Patrick Dickinson shared that spiders produce the webs in varying styles. Some spiders create balloon shaped webs while others make it like tents.

They can be seen all strung up in lamp posts and trees around North Texas including the surveillance cameras around the city hall in Dallas. Dickinson added that it brought out various reactions from Texans with others even scared to leave their homes.

KVUE reports too that the cooler temperatures at night made the spider eggs to hatch faster. All of its newborns climb to the highest level of the webs they can reach and also released webs to help them go much further up. They also favor good winds that help them travel for several miles.

The good news that can keep everyone's feeling safe about the spider webs is that it won't affect anyone's health. Even if most dislikes the presence of spiders, they can even be deemed as beneficial according to the horticulturist. In what way? They eat up other insects that are harmful like mosquitoes and bugs that destroy plants.

So just to be clear, it isn't Spiderman lurking around North Texas.
