Raining Spiders In Australia

[Get Off My Cloud]

Eek!!!

Scientists have confirmed that the eight-legged creatures fell from the sky in the Southern Tablelands, with locals reporting that their homes were covered in spiders.

Resident Ian Watson told the Sydney Morning Herald: "The whole place was covered in these little black spiderlings and when I looked up at the sun it was like this tunnel of webs going up for a couple of hundred metres into the sky."

Sounds like a web of lies hehe

Gotta love spiders, it's a unique way to get around. Strange for them to land in such a concentration though, maybe the lee-side of a hill?

I like spiders too but millions of the buggers falling from the sky and covering everything in sight in webs is a little too creepy.

OT, I know, but it's raining hailstones here in Cornwall & so fliipping cold with it - feels more like December than less than 2 weeks to June

Back on topic - raining spiders would be a nightmare for me as well padiho

Dr Mark I can't look at it in detail, saw those horrible legs as I scrolled down and guessed what it was. If I wasn't such a lady I might put my thanks in a few choice words !!!! If I had had to patrol in Iraq and seen them, there would have been one lsoldier gone AWOL.. My fear of them is totally irrational and blown out of all proportion I know...but I have lots of endearing qualities that make up for that...well that's what I tell hubby when I'm begging him to remove one from the house

Omg you know I love all creatures great and small but spiders brrrrrrrrr they give me the heebie-jeebies if they stay still it's not as bad but the minute those legs start to move that's it for me , they scare the heck out of me so where ever the spider is I'm not !!!
