A warning: If the thought of tens of millions of tiny spiders spinning a web 24 hectares - 60 acres - in size and crawling all over it scares the wits out of you, you might want to tread carefully over the following. Because that's exactly what happened last month on a farmer's field near McBride, about 220 kilometres east of Prince George. For reasons that area scientists don't really understand, millions and millions of tiny black spiders called Halorates ksenius - they have no common name - became trapped in Russell Jervis' clover field and started spinning webs.

FU now im spider paranoid again :(

Reminds me of an old 70s movie. I think it was called Spiders, but it was about a town that got infested with spiders, and all the people in the town were wrapped and by the end of the movie the whole town was coverd in 1 big web.

Kingdom of the Spiders (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0076271/), starring William Shatner as Dr. Robert "Rack" Hansen! There are a couple images from that movie that have never left my subconscious...

OMFG I got the heebie jeebies again. That's it!! I'll have to find a copy of that and check out the movie again. Thanks Thormir.

The only spider movie I remember was Arachnaphobia. God that was scary the first time I saw it.

hmm I might have to check that movie out Thor. I was only 2 when it came out lol.

Afraid of Shatner, or the spiders? :p

I have a 'required viewing' movie list a mile long...but the flick sounds great.

Whoah, totally forgot about that Shatner movie. I only vaguely remember it, the scene where the camera pans across a couple corpses all webbed up. Definitely have to watch that again!

that's actually a very informative page!:rolleyes:
