Are you a member of a band of adventurers that would like to level up quickly and are willing to take risks? I know the perfect dungeon you can go to grind up some experience points.*
Live Science reports that scientists have discovered an enormous spider colony in a sulfuric cave on the border between Greece and Albania. The dense web covering the interior of the cave stretches across about 106 square meters, which is approximately the surface area of skin of 73 humans if the skin is removed from those bodies.

*The loot is probably poor, though--aside from what's left behind by previous adventurers.

Some single spiders can make pretty big webs. When I lived in Louisiana we had a huge orb spider - maybe 2 or more inches, which is big to me! - build it's web every night hanging from the top of our backdoor overhang. It started and it would stretch all the way to our detached garage. It was a work of art and an engineering fete to behold. And every morning the web and spider would be nowhere to be seen. I wish I had thought to photograph it.
