Spiders in the Trees

In July 2010 Sindh, Pakistan received an unusually heavy amount of rain during their monsoon season. The result was massive flooding, and after the water refused to recede spiders were forced into the trees to spin their webs. The result is a series of ghostly web cocoons covering the trees. The strangest part however, was that in cases such as this scientists determined that no one particular species of spider is responsible for the webs, but rather they are the product of dozens of species spinning “communal” webs.
