On the first sight of the pictures I thought that they are
photoshoped or from a horror movie, the interesting part is that they
are real and they were detected in Sindu, south eastern Pakistan, near Karachi, back in 2010.
About one-fifth of Pakistan's total land area was underwater,
the floods had been 15 to 20 feet deep in places leaving about 20 million
people homeless with destroyed livelihoods and infrastructure.
This extraordinary phenomenon was caused by the surviving spiders! The
spiders crawled up into the trees to escape the rising flood.
Because the water took so long to regress, the spiders' webs covered the
trees to look like creepy cotton-candy trees.
Inspite of the crisis and the one of a kind creepy sight, there was one
blessing that everyone witnessed and was pleased about; insects and mosquitoes were
caught in the spiders' webs which led to reducing the risk of spreading
malaria.
