Giant Spider Webs in Madagascar

Usually when you think of Madagascar, you think of Lemurs since that is their native habitat.

You do associate Lemurs with Madagascar, don’t you?

Of course, I know you do.

But when you think of Madagascar, do you think of BIG spiders and BIG spider webs?

Probably not and until recently not many people did, except those living in Madagascar.

Usually when one thinks of spiders, one thinks of small little creatures that spin smallish webs.

And, as you know, spiders catch things to eat in their spider web nets.

But, how about BIG spiders and BIG webs. Are there any?

Well, yes -- In Madagascar spiders with reallllllly big webs have been found.

These webs are really big -- so big that scientists are wondering how the spiders do this and how they attach them and ...

Well, hmmmmm.  I guess these are big questions IF one is wearing the “old earth worldview / evolutionary glasses” which say that spiders and their ability to make reallllly big webs just happened by chance.

For folks wearing the “young earth worldview” gasses, the answer is simple.

So, what is the simple answer to these amazing spiders and their humongous webs? you ask.

How about just believing what the Bible says -- which is that God created all creatures (and this would include spiders with their ability to spin webs) to be what they are and to do what they do.

Anyway, if you interested in seeing some of these BIG webs.  HERE’S THE LINK.
