Texas cousins

Before I try to blog about anything else, I should point all of you in the direction of the news from Texas. These little suckers (long-jawed orb weaver spiders compared to the orb weaver spiders I have documented on here) have hit the national news. Concerned family and friends have been sending me links and the papers are showing pictures of the webs. Why the media is paying attention to these guys and not to the Portland warfare is beyond me. I will say that this story rates higher on the gross out scale.
