Well its time for an UPDATE on the WEBSTRANDS issue, I just developed a roll of film that dates from early November through just this last week.
Once again with the help of eyesopen they are now uploaded into the image database.
Here are some WebStrands caught on a car antenna taken November 1st 2001 during webfall

This shot was taken earlier that same day as the riseing sun caught the due drops on the webs on this field

Here is a picture of an empty 12" X 24" field box that had been set down outside on the ground for a couple of hours. The box had no webs on it when it was set outside but this is what i saw when i walked past it after two hours~ i caught the web as a slight breeze caused it to lift up

Here is anoughter shot of a field in early November covered in WebStrand that fell from the sky

He arrived about 11 AM and we walked around outside for awhile enjoying one of the few rainfree momments of the last 6 weeks on the Oregon coast. We stopped to see if we could find any Webstrands on the ground~ but there were none. We went inside to look at stuff under the microscope and when he was leaving to go home, we went outside only to realize that webs had been falling from the sky while we were inside. So we grabbed one that was streaming off a car antenna and took it inside to the microscope. Guess what? what appeared to be a single thin strand was in fact made up of at least a hundred ministrands~ some areas looked like a cable had been snapped and the individual strands were all over the place in every dimention~ just like a snapped cable.
The picture below is of the density of web strands that fell in an area about 10" wide by 6" deep, the light level was very low so i had to shot this shot with a wide poen apperature at 1/60th second shutter speed in macro~ so the detail and debth of field is poor.

We then proceeded to take samples which have been sent away for better analysis

Now... your last post states that you're getting an infestation of spiders and webs... this is most interesting... and you can feel them crawling on you too? Have you ever encountered this experience before? I don't know how many years you've been farming but if I had spiders falling and crawling on me I'd remember that experience for a long time.

The thing that strikes me as rather odd is the time of year for this to occur...I mean really, it's the dead of winter and I'm guessing it's cold right now where you live. I'll probably catch flack for this... but this spider drop almost seems staged! I'm probably wrong though... it's nothing to worry about... right.

The Biology of ... Spider Silk
Arachnomania
The race to synthesize the world's strongest fiber
By Robert Kunzig
http://www.discover.com/sept_01/featbiology.html

"More research has been done on the dragline silk of Nephila than on any other kind. But it is a long way from being understood. A single thread of that silk is perhaps three to five micrometers across. When Vollrath started looking into it, people thought dragline silk was a relatively simple composite material, like fiberglass, consisting of stiff sheets of crystallized protein floating in an elastic rubbery matrix. But that, Vollrath has found, is not the structure of the whole thread; it's the structure of a single filament inside the thread— and there may be thousands of such filaments, each only a few nanometers across, too small to be seen with a typical microscope, and perhaps bundled in some way that has yet to be discerned."
This is NOT what Poco Loco and I saw~ we could see the individual strands under the microscope

Subject: Webstrands and Ballooning Spiderlings

Question:

A resident of the Oregon coast area is currently seeing large amounts of webstrands in their area for miles along the coast. Small spiders are sometimes seen when this occurs. These spiders are 0.5 to 2.0 millimeters in size, have red to brown colored legs and a dark body. Any ideas on what type of spider this may be? The wind predominantly comes from the ocean there, so one question is where are these massive numbers of spiders coming from? I'm currently seeing these webstrands in Texas as well, but no spiders. What times of year are these ballooning spiders expected to be seen? Thanks!

Answer:

Dear Mark:

I am not sure exactly what you are asking, as it appears you have answered your own question. They would indeed be juvenile spiderlings, dispersing by "ballooning." It is next to impossible even for experts to identify immature spiders. Determination of spiders to species requires the presence of mature genitalia, and identity to family depends on the eye arrangement, something requiring high magnification.

I am not suprised at ballooning spiders in Texas at this time of year, but the Oregon phenomenon seems unusual, unless it is near Brookings, or some other locale that gets unseasonably warm :-) Spiderlings have been collected high in the atmosphere, though, so I suppose they could be coming from overseas or something. You might consult a meteorologist about it!

Thank you for your question, and Happy New Year!

Sincerely,

Eric

This book covered several really interesting details about the history of bio research including some ideas that were used by people in the fourteenth century. I thought I'd include a paragraph from the book to give everyone an idea of some of the possibilities..

The earliest recorded use of Y. pestis in war was in the fourteenth century, when a Tatar army conquered Kaffa, in present-day Crimea, by catapulting the bodies of plague victims over the walls of the town. During World War II, leaders of the Japanese bacteriological warfare program turned to plague because an attack could be concealed as a natural outbreak. But there were drawbacks: when they tried to drop bombs filled with plague from aircraft, the explosion killed the bacteria. The commanders finally settled on a more effective method of delivery: they blanketed the target area with billions of plague-infected fleas.

There were numerous other stories of countries using biologicals in a fashion that made epidemics look like natural occurrences.

Has anyone noticed the stories on Rense about all the Doctors specializing in microbiology disappearing and being murdered?

Now about these little spiders that Mark caught.... If fleas can be infected with plague...perhaps spiders could be infected with something nasty too? Just a thought... though not a very pleasant one.

Too Thermit~ interesting that BROOKINGs was named in your reply~ is Broookings renouned for unusual spider flight somewhere?
mayhaps the brookings effect is why i see?

Makes me wonder what all those dissappearing microbiology doctors knew. Knowing too much about a subject can be hazardous to one's health it appears. Even the one big time doctor that defected from the Soviet Union to go to the UK has recently turned up dead. Hmmmm.....

I've never read Ken's warning in the Resistor.. I bet that was quite the eye opener. I wonder if they have a web site for folks to go visit?
