It's a series of webs. Those web that house colonies of spiders - there can be over ten thousandof those spiders in one colony.
So we're talking about eighty five thousand space spider about to eat us all.
I do like the trance theory though.
But it'd be funner somehow if it merely paralysed you, and then you kind of suffered from locked-in syndrome, so you would see and distantly feel what was happening. Being perfectly aware of it the entire time.

So it seems they would sing.
So the distant ringing that you hear sometimes?
That's the spiders,laying their traps and floating down to the surface of this green land in silken parachutes, awaiting for the chord that will end us and all life on this planet.
Whether or not water-dwellers will be spared is undecided at this time.

Duh.
