Residents spooked by 20ft ‘web’

A spooky sighting has given passers by the creeps ever since this 20ft cobweb appeared last month. The web, which covered a number of trees in the area, has been spotted by many people and has been identified as a caterpillar web. The webs were spotted by Kate Arnold when she was on her way home from work. Kate said: "When I drove past it I had to stop and have a look. Insects don't really creep me out and I was so intrigued to see this. "It's so surreal, I have never seen anything like it before, when I got out the car I expected a 20ft spider like the one out of Harry Potter to be there. She went on to say: "At first I thought it would be spiders, but when I went to have a look I realised that it was caterpillars. "I have had a google and realised that there aren't many sightings of webs this big in the UK which is really strange.
