Beware, arachnophobes - after these creepy photos, you will not soon want to relax in nature.
Leslie Schmidt, along with her boyfriend Bryce, played Pokemon Go and accidentally stumbled upon an ominous find. A park in the Gippsland area of Victoria was completely covered with cobwebs - millions of spiders fled here, fleeing from torrential downpours.
Fleeing from the threat of flooding, spiders move through the air on the hills using the so-called "parachutes" from the web. This behavior of spiders is called "ballooning", and it terrifies people with a fear of spiders.
This is not the first time the result of aeronautics of spiders has been caught on camera. In 2012, the area of New South Wales was hit by a huge amount of torrential rain, and thousands of spiders found refuge in the city of Wagga Wagga. They weaved huge webs to escape the floods that forced over 9,000 people to flee their homes.
