Yes, I noticed it too. It got on my shoes when I walked across the lawn to get the mail this evening. Interesting!

Aprilvikings, I'm not sure but this might be what you found:

"The funnel web for Agelenopsis and Hololena genera are a distinctive web, and often are noticed in bushes and grass, especially in the early fall mornings, where the dew has collected on the web. The webs can be expansive, covering several square feet, or just small webs in the grass."

Spiders really creep me out, but I think they're fascinating.

Last night my husband and I went for a walk at about 8 PM, and these "webs" were completely covering the ground in our entire neighborhood. I am thinking this is not spiders because that that would be a whole lot of spiders. Also, we noticed some thicker "webs" on our driveway that looked somwhat like silly string. It was thicker than a normal spider web. And it was on the bushes too. It looked like some kind of synthetic material.

My husband did some research on the web and found some information about "chemtrails." Take a look.

Aprilvikings, if you can edit the original forum topic you created, you should be able to find an option for "File attachments" at the bottom. Or, if that doesn't work, you could try putting up a blog post. Blog posts also allow you to attach files.

Good luck.

Aprilvikings, another way you can attach files is to go to the bottom of the screen, get a jar of penut butter and smear it on your screen, and then stick whatever attachments you want to the screen...works everytime.
