In 2010, whole trees
were made into
cocoons in Pakistan
by spiders!
In July 2010, record
breaking monsoons
brought nearly 10
years worth of rainfall
down on Pakistan in
just one week. The
rivers overflowed and
flooded huge areas in
the country. The water
enough, and huge
stagnant bodies of
water scattered across
the countryside.
It was said to be a
slow motion type of
disaster. Spiders and
other insects sought
refuge in the trees.
There were so many
that entire trees
became massive
cocoons for them.
They spun webs that
covered the trees as a
whole. People
standing under the
trees had lots of little
spiders falling down
on their heads.
never seen anything
like it before. Other
countries that have
faced massive flooding
like Japan, have
witnessed the same
phenomenon. The
type of spider that
would have the
capability to do this to
a tree is a social
spider.
They travel in groups
and make a
community together.
They capture prey and
share it with each
other. The reason the
trees are enveloped in
a single web is due to
the fact that the
spiders are communal
and worked together
to create it.
