What kind of spiders can do something like that?

I would rather commit suicide than go near those trees. It is beyond scary. But they didn't show what kind of spiders made those webs. As scary as it is, I am still curious. And where were they before they go up to the tree? I feel like that few thousand kilometers between me and those things are just not enough.

No comment and yet a bunch of reactions so others can click on "their" site to generate traffic. Maybe those idiots are claiming they found the original source too right!
Doesn't look scary and humans aren't the only ones that needs to survive...

I hate spiders and I wouldn't like to be there for sure. And why is this not happening here or at other places when there are floods? Not like I want to see this when I look out at the window.

I'm already a puss when it comes to one spider. But they said millions of spiders made giant webs in these trees. With that knowledge, I would estimate there is at least 50-100 spiders in each tree. But the sheer size of the webs themselves suggest a much larger number.

Wow. To me it looks like fairy floss on a stick, but no I'd not want to live near any of them.

| I'm guessing they are made by a lot of small spiders.

Agreed. *shudders*
Are there any pictures of the spiders themselves?

No, it seems these are all the pictures. But even if there are just many small spiders, it means that country is full of spiders. I don't have a clue where were they before the flood but guess on the ground which is even worse than now on the trees. Wherever they are, there are tons of them with or without flood, especially because I think that most of them didn't make it to the trees.

That is a bit freaky. I love living in a country where the most deadly spider can't even kill you.

I was wondering how is this affecting the trees so I read a bit more about it:
| Quote: | | The huge webs ultimately killed many of the trees they covered, perhaps by reducing the amount of sunlight reaching their leaves. |
Poor trees. Spiders killed them. And people say spiders are killing small insects only. Yeah maybe when they are alone. But when they gang up, they are killing trees for fun. It's just isn't fair. They should be burned.
And what happened with those animals that were living on the trees? Are they hunting everything down? Next time they will hunt down elephants in packs.
