What an amazing sight! According to scientists in Australia, recent floods have pushed enormous colonies of spiders up above the water. Flood fleeing Australians have returned to their homes to find acres upon acres of land covered in spider webs!
No, that's not snow or fog! It is apparently the result of unchecked spider growth in the areas affected by the flooding in Australia. The population of spiders (a type of Wolf Spider) has boomed in the absence of humans to cull them. With the wet weather, insect population also surged providing plenty of food for the growing spider empire.
A similar phenomenon happened in Sindh, Pakistan (among other parts of PK) when flood waters rose there after the 2010 typhoon season dumped 10 years worth of rain in one week!
