From Geekosystem:

Here’s a delightful morning snack: When Pakistan experienced severe flooding last year, it had the unexpected and rather creepy-crawly side effect of driving millions upon millions of spiders to the trees, where they could escape the floodwater. Since the flooding lasted for such a long time, many trees became blanketed in thick layers of web.

It's crazy. I don't think I've ever seen anything like this before.

90% of statistics can be made to say anything 50% of the time.

We get caterpillars up here in the Northeast that do something similar:



Usually just a "tent" or two of web, but sometimes they take over the whole damn tree. Plus, they make a mess under the tree. It's disgusting.


EDIT: Sorry about the image size. Didn't realize it was that big.

No more Twitter. It's Mastodon now.

By far the best spider picture ever posted on this board... because there are no man-eating spiders in it.
And those caterpillar "web pods" are pretty much found everywhere other than in mountainous areas maybe. We had them in teh south where I grew up and also in teh Chicago area.
