The article I read really caught my attention because of the picture of the spider and its web. I absolutely hate spiders and they creep me out more than most things on the planet, so I was pretty intrigued.
The name of this spider is Caerostris Darwini, or Darwin's Bark Spider for short. Darwin Spiders can build their webs over areas of more than 30 square feet. It's common for Darwin Spiders to web over rivers or streams, and are very successful at catching many insects. The home-place for this spider is in the thick jungles of Madagascar. Scientists say that it's even possible for Darwin Spiders webs to catch small birds or bats, but there has never been proof or footage of it.
