Or how about just getting a better source than the world-renowned for it's failure Aftonbladet (commonly refered to as Aftonhoran or Aftonpravdan, eveningwhore and evening-pravda respectively), which like pretty much all Swedish press are worthless and contain no real information outside of sensationalist drivel and misguided speculation--
So is this bs?
Ah I see. Thanks a lot for the links, its very interesting.
ARG! Spiders are my worst fear, never eeeeeeeeeeever going there lol. It could be a real life shelob! (LOTR fans ;P )
I heard about this earlier, I reckon it's the bugs from Starship troopers, those things are huge! 
dont write it off that easy!!
I saw it on the news just now ( a no nonsence boring news show) its probably a web made bij hundreds of spiders working togheter. just like ants sometimes do!

In all attempt to try and not sound like a caveman, I say this, a big spider makes a big web. Could possibly be a wild creature on the loose.

It's very well possible that it is a HUGE spider which scares the hell out of me. And could be borrowed deep somewhere idk, but it's all and all possible and nature always has it's share of freaks. Most of you have most likely seen this but, just look at hogzilla.

true. only mosquitos trapped there, thats mean this web made by regular cute spiders who want to take over the world. if this made by gigantic spider of doom, i'll bet there's dogs, birds, kids, aligators, trapped there
beatiful but there isnt any spiders around there?

I was wondering that myself. They don't have to destroy the webbing but couldn't they catch some of the spiders? Unless maybe they are deserted webs? Idk.
Perhaps the giant spider has an underground burrow to hide in and has since deserted his web above ground.
It'll be good when they find out what spider did this, then maybe they could use those spiders to 'farm' spiderweb material
Hey, I detect a hint of sarcasm in that last statement. But in all seriousness, it's probably just one of a kind.

Wills Point, Texas - Entomologists are debating the origin and rarity of a sprawling spider web that blankets several trees, shrubs and the ground along a 200-yard stretch of trail in a North Texas park.
"At first, it was so white it looked like fairyland," said Donna Garde, superintendent of the park about 45 miles east of Dallas. "Now it's filled with so many mosquitoes that it's turned a little brown. There are times you can literally hear the screech of millions of mosquitoes caught in those webs."
Spider experts say the web may have been constructed by social cobweb spiders, which work together, or could be the result of a mass dispersal in which the arachnids spin webs to spread out from one another.
Herbert A. "Joe" Pase, a Texas Forest Service entomologist, said the massive web is very unusual.
"It could be a once-in-a-lifetime event," he said.
"There are a lot of folks that don't realize spiders do that," said Jackman, author of "A Field Guide to the Spiders and Scorpions of Texas."
"Until we get some samples sent to us, we really won't know what species of spider we're talking about," Jackman said.
Park rangers said they expect the web to last until fall, when the spiders will start dying off.

there's many small communal living spiders there so I kind of doubt a very large freak of nature spider being there. imo.
oh and another link

Yes, that sounds correct. Although I do find that humoring the idea of a giant spider is most entertaining.

If your profile status does not decieve me you are far away from being safe. Australia has its fair shair of dangerous arachnids.

We do have red backs and white tails here but nothing to drastic in the colder climate. thankgod.
