Australia has recently found itself in the middle of a flooding fiasco which has caused roughly 13,000 people to abandon homes in low lying areas. But they are not the only living beings searching for higher ground, as even spiders have found their homes to be inadequate shelter from the extreme water levels. This has led to a miraculous phenomenon: spiders are occupying human farms and houses as if they were their own. What may first appear as snow or dew clearly becomes suffocating spider webs upon closer inspection. Known for their frightening amounts of poisonous species, Australians are not taking this critter invasion lightly.
Why Spiders?
The question most Australian farm owners may be asking themselves is "Why did it have to be spiders?" Outside of possibly snakes riding a tidal wave and coating your house, there are not many animals you would like to invade your home less than spiders. These wolf spiders do not have very many redeeming qualities, either. It's not their fault because their appearance tends to be horrifying to the average human, but they are not going to be welcomed by many homeowners. For this reason we hope they migrate back to their homes safely without the farmers having to whip out the flamethrower for the old slash and burn.
