How Many Spiders Is Too Many?

I can't say that I'm awfully fond of spiders. I don't think that I am arachnophobic, but I would just as soon spiders keep to themselves. When we were on safari in South Africa, I still remember coming up on a beautiful web and the guide making sure that we saw it and didn't walk into it--he told us the spider was very poisonous. At any rate you spider fans might be interested in an article in the New York Times today on an enormous web that they have discovered in Texas.
