Strange phenomenon sky raining spiders in Australia
imagine that you woke up one morning and found the spiders all around you and their threads covering everything that really looks scary. This is not a movie scene from a horror movie, but that's what happened in the town of Golbourne in Australia. The life of the Australian city dwellers is a daily nightmare, because they have been violently attacked by little spiders coming from heaven.
Spiders covered the whole area. One resident expressed concern and alarm at the amount of spiders attacking them. "We are being held in our homes for fear that the spiders will stick with us," another said. "The whole area is covered with spiders. When I looked at the sun, Which is full of spiders 'house, it's really annoying, when you can not go outside the area without thousands of spiders' houses sticking to you. "
The strange phenomenon that the city has experienced in recent years, but not so sharply, has alarmed its population, according to local media. The social media has been published in pictures and videos showing millions of spiders, some described as "scary horror films" Another, while others call it the movie "Baby Spiderman" (Spider-Man).
This phenomenon is called spiders migration or inflation, which is not strange to Australia and in some other countries. It is a common landscape for people in some regions of Australia. The region is experiencing large migration of small spiders from another area during May or August immediately after rainfall, Covering entire areas, and showing clear threads with the sun's rays, and this is what makes them collide with the inhabitants of the region, it is known that these insects are transmitted from the roofs of plants and trees, using nets as umbrellas to land safely.
Retired archaeologist Rick Fitter says the phenomenon of balloons is unusual in many spiders. He added that the spiders climb to as high places as possible and then stand on her legs and lift her belly to secrete many silk threads in the air in the form of a triangular parachute-like parachutes and tossed carrying silk thread like balloons in the air away hundreds of miles to new areas and this is happening around us all the time but We do not notice this because they do not do it at the same time and in the same place. But what happened in the town of Gulburn is that millions of spiders have done it at the same time and transported air to the population, which is considered a kind of mass migration.
During this journey, the vast majority of these spiders die from extreme climatic conditions or are eaten by predatory animals. But a small part survives to establish a new colony. As soon as the spiders disappear underground, their protein-rich nets decompose, leaving no trace of migration as if nothing had happened.
According to Rob Bennett, an entomologist at the British Columbia Museum in Victoria, the reasons for spiders migration are not clear but likely due to heavy rains.
