Watch: Giant spiderwebs cover Australian town after flood

Residents of Australia's Victoria state are literally caught in a web. Days after a massive storm, the East Gippsland town in Victoria is covered under giant spiderwebs. The vast sheets of spiderwebs cover the roadside, poles, road signs, trees, plants, and everything that is tall or high. The huge webs looks almost like transparent nets covering grasslands.
The spiders wove these elaborate webs in a bid to move to higher ground to escape the wrath of the floodwaters and damage to their homes in low areas. According to a BBC report, experts say the webs are created by a survival tactic known as “ballooning”, where spiders throw out silk to climb to higher ground.
