Travellers should be wary of a visit
to Wagga Wagga, Australia anytime soon. One of several towns affected by
the recent floods in southeast Australia, Wagga Wagga is experiencing a
curious phenomenon: thousands upon thousands of spiders looking for
higher (and drier) ground are working together to weave massive webs
across sticks and bushes. In some cases, the webs have grow so large
they cover entire fields. The strange spiderweb blankets were first
reported by the BBC. According to the news outlet, approximately 9,000
people in Wagga Wagga been forced to evacuate due to flooding. Wagga
Wagga is a popular stopover for people heading between Adelaide, Sydney
or Melbourne. What would you do if you were on the road and survived a
flood but were then greeted by thousands of hairy-legged spiders? Just
the thought gives us the creepy crawlies.
