Portions of the city Wagga Wagga in Australia, New South Wales, were blanketed with spider webs after floodwaters in the area caused 13,000 people to flee their homes.
The ground-dwelling arachnids covered trees and grassland areas in attempt to “balloon” out of the region. Web kites are not uncommon after floods, entomology expert Graham Milledge told news.com.au:
“They often do it as a way of dispersing and getting into a new area, in an event like this, they are just trying to escape the floods.”
Great just great. I remember a movie about a giant spider as big as a house. Now going to be thinking about spiders every time it rains. I don’t like spiders.
