Australia. Dense spider webs reach the horizon
W Australia The arachnophobia nightmare has come true. Because of the heavy rain and wet ground, the spiders had to move a little higher to protect themselves from the water. It works just like our Indian summer – spiders weave threads that reach, carried by the wind, to safe, elevated areas. Hence the cobwebs that covered the weeds, meadows and roadsides. This is common yet flood.

A similar phenomenon was already observed in Gippsland in 2013. After heavy rains, the area was covered with a dense spider web as it is now.
