The article headline is: "Millions of Baby Spiders Create Giant Silken Blanket"

Thank you, the one question I had (Was it a single spider?) was answered by the original headline.

The question I had, "Why would someone want to make a half mile long sheet of spider silk and put it in a field outside Memphis?" is also answered by the original headline.
