Serious question. How prolific are insects that they can keep an ecosystem like this going. I mean whole fields of spider webs? Seriously???

That ending always bugged me. I mean, how many people in the world have died from a gunshot? I'd rather get cleaved by a giant horse-topus.

This Australian has never seen anything like this. This is uncommon

Yeah, it happened after a flood, very rare circumstances. But I guess everyone loves believing Australia is some kind of hellscape.

This is as representative of Australian spiders as looters after the Katrina hurricane are representative of the whole of American people.

Still, that's a hella Lot of webs-Right?

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

It is, but it's what happens when you take a large population and remove most of it's useable habitat, forcing it to be concentrated.

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

eg. it flooded and the spiders couldn't go anywhere there was water.
