When I was a little kid living in Alaska, one summer day I was running (probably away from some other kid) on a path beaten down in really tall grass. As I was roaring along, I looked up for some reason and saw that I was about to crash into one of these guys -- right at face level! If I hadn't somehow gone into the best home base slide I've ever done, I would have had him lunching on my nose. I'll bet when he built his web across the path, he told his buddies, "If this works, we're gonna eat like kings." (old Gary Larson cartoon)
