I live in Australia and I've never seen anything like this. does anyone know what kind of spider it is that makes that sort of web?
cupofwine
orb spider maybe?
idontevenknowsillymonkey
It was due to flooding a few years back - in regional NSW etc

Serious question. How prolific are insects that they can keep an ecosystem like this going. I mean whole fields of spider webs? Seriously???
jsnforce
Fuck that whole shit. No way.

Communal webs have also happened in Texas https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/09/070912145919.htm

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
Folsee
Shhhhhhhh! You're ruining the illusion!
GoliathSkittles
Yeah, it happened after a flood, very rare circumstances. But I guess everyone loves believing Australia is some kind of hellscape.

Found the spider.

This is also why Australia has fire tornadoes.

You might be right.
MorRochben
Not enough apparently
TheAwfulNene
Napalm, we're gonna need napalm.
Nitrobskt
needs more fire tornadoes.*
devilsbitch
TIL fire tornadoes exist. Although it's not original, there's a few fire/flying types already
ston3dge
Charizard, Moltres, Ho-Oh, Talonflame? Or am I off course again?
devilsbitch
cant think of any more.... yep, just googled it, there are no more

One of Oricorio's forms is fire/flying.

Screw it, get the napalm and incindirary bombs. That flamethrower is not enough.

Why have we not burned Australia yet?
boethius
Australia seems kind of self burning.
Stratego89
Dude, Mother Nature is trying this year for real. Go look up news on their recent weather.
dolphindreamsandsatan
they do it themselves every year! Just like us Californians...
TheRealHenryVIII
Great potential for a penal colony 2.0
Ekibwurm
someone fool tries every few years: the critters are stronger now and adapted to the attempts on their lives
phoenixht1
Oh god, they're evolving!
Ekibwurm
that's the idea with evolution:the strong survive, pass on their strong genes and then overcome the other species..humans stopped doing this
Boxxerturtle
Humans evolve on a social baise at this point also we are still evolving physically, look up the statistics for people born with shorter 1/

Or no pinkie fingers, this is a growing trend as their neccessity has faded out. 2/2

We didn't have to. Back in 1567 the south Asians all kicked, and with their mighty kick dislodged Australia from Asia and made it 1/2

It's pretty good at burning itself.

We tried. The wildlife and humanlife just adapted. The whole continent is now not only fireproof, but it sets itself on fire every summer-->

GoliathSkittles
This is as representative of Australian spiders as looters after the Katrina hurricane are representative of the whole of American people.
embeddedinrealityviaQED
Still, that's a hella Lot of webs-Right?
GoliathSkittles
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.
GoliathSkittles
eg. it flooded and the spiders couldn't go anywhere there was water.
