Oh, what a tangled web is being woven along the coast of a small town in Greece ― and it’s more than 1,000 feet long. The giant webs are spun by a very small spider of the Tetragnatha genus ― it’s just 0.7 inches long, according to Inside Edition. More yummy gnats mean more Tetragnatha spiders, according to Maria Chatzaki, a biology professor at Greece’s Democritus University of Thrace. A spider population boom happens about every three to five years near Aitoliko. When that happens, the spider population will decrease as well.
