Itsy bitsy spider...


Trees cocooned in spiders webs after flooding in Sindh, Pakistan

I just loved this photo, even though it was a result of the not so nice flooding in parts of Pakistan a while ago.

They say that "(...) millions of spiders climbed up into the trees to escape the rising flood waters. Because of the scale of the flooding and the fact that the water has taken so long to recede, many trees have become cocooned in spiders webs. People in this part of Sindh have never seen this phenonemon before - but they also report that there are now less mosquitos than they would expect, given the amoungt of stagnant, standing water that is around."
