It seems that the waters from last year's floods in Pakistan forced millions of spiders into these trees, creating these impressive images, according to the UK Department For International Development (DFID). Apparently the water took so long to recede that the spiders eventually turned the trees into cocoons.

LOL at the videos :D I wonder if this is healthy for the trees though, or if it will become a long term thing for the spiders now. I knew they were smarter than they lead on :tinhat:

Being able to put Youtube videos in posts has created a great dynamic to threds, it has turned out to be great. Things like this where threads go off on a tangent with videos is cool.
