THE MAIN STREET bridge in Ohio’s capital might appear to be decked out for Halloween, but officials say the extensive webs spotted by motorists at night are real.
The Columbus Dispatch reports the $60 million bridge connecting downtown Columbus and Franklinton is infested with thousands of web-spinning spiders of different varieties.
Ohio State University professor David Shetlar specialises in urban landscape entomology and estimates the bridge has 5,000 to 10,000 spiders.
The spiders are from a number of different species including an “arabesque orb-weaver, which is known for its graceful weaving.
“Another is something out of an arachnophobe’s nightmare — it’s called a long-jawed orb weaver,” according to the Columbus Dispatch.
Ohio Division of Wildlife naturalist Jim McCormac says the sheer number of spiders is evidence of good health for the Scioto River underneath
A $35.5 million project narrowed the river for the creation of a 33-acre park with 800 trees and 75,000 plants.
McCormac says that allows for more insects in the area, and the spiders followed their food.

Surprising lack of Edward Snowden in any of those, including the global and US results…
THIS COUNTRY HAS BEEN DESTROYED BY NATIONALIST CORRUPTION AND LOCAL THINKING.
THE HSE is a cas in point.
ITS HUMANITIES SECOND EVOLUTION TO COME TOGETHER AS ONE.
better to have a ethical technocratic elite ruling us from the center of the planet rather than the likes of school teachers from mayo.
if you really new how the human species came onto being you would understand.
we are not the only ones in this universe. before and after.
If you had all the absolutely 100 percent correct A + + + answers to the ultimate exam, would you unleash this inside information or would you choose to be original on the most important test of your life ? ? ?
we need one world governemnt. without an earth superpower how will we populate other planets..your posts are just a microcosm of the conflict between the nations of the world.
TRILLIONS AND TRILLIONS OF YEARS AGO IN THE LONG FORGOTTEN PAST, THE MIRADERS (THE GREATEST OF ALL EXTRATERRESTRIAL ALIEN CIVILIZATIONS) WERE THE FIRST ULTRA SUPER MEGA GENIUS FLESH AND BLOOD SPECIES TO RISE FROM THE ABSOLUTE DARKNESS OF THE GREAT NOTHINGNESS.
SINCE THEY WERE UNABLE TO MEET THE ULTIMATE SUPERNATURAL MAKER, THE MIRADERS DECIDED THEY WOULD ACTUALLY BECOME THE SUPREME CREATOR. TO ACHIEVE THIS NOBLE AND ATTAINABLE GOAL AND OVER THE SPAN OF COUNTLESS MILLIONS OF EONS, THE MIRADERS DEVELOPED HIGHLY AND MASSIVELY GODLIKE COMPUTER MINDS IN THE MANNER OF BRILLIANT ROBOT MACHINES, WHICH COULD CREATE EVEN MUCH, MUCH GREATER ARTIFICIAL CONSTRUCTS AS THE EVOLUTION OF INTELLIGENCE EXPLODED COMPLETELY OUT OF CONTROL. EVENTUALLY, MIRADER COULD MONITOR, RECORD AND CONTROL EVERY MICROSCOPIC PARTICLE ON THEIR PLANET AND IN THEIR LOCAL STAR SYSTEM.
Thus it is that they created us… not out of empathy but practicality. the hse does not understand tranhumanism. ray kuzweil does and only some of us – the better of us will qualify for the treatment
Amazing Morm. I finally see the light. Beam me up scotty. I’m ready.
What are you smoking?
DID YOU KNOW THAT TYPING IN BLOCK CAPS IS A SURE SIGN THAT YOU ARE A LOON AND SIGNIFICANTLY DECREASES THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT WILL TAKE YOU SERIOUSLY.
I don’t believe you, nutter
I think someone was tripping on acid when this was written!
Trillions eh!! Thats mad, and there was me thinking the universe was only 13.5 billion yrs old, but what would scientists know
Jesus Morm you need them issues addressed and soon !!
Paul Walker, Cory Monteith, Royal Baby and Oscar Pistorious all searched more then Mandela.
I know I shouldn’t be surprised but I am
In fairness…. The Zeitgeist report was a day after Mandela died. The Journal are just reporting on it now.
Its because nobody needed to google Mandela to double check who he was as opposed to Walker and Monteith et al. Thats what Im believing anyway!
Price of tin foil hats will rise now ?. BUY BUY !!!!
have your say
