The last time someone posted this picture, someone else explained in the comments about how this is way better than having billions of mosquitoes infesting the area... something like that.

The spiders helped killing the mosquitoes. /r/spiderbro

Also that the spiders climbed into the trees to avoid the floodwater.

Tent caterpillars. They will kill the trees.

Damn! what kind are they? We have gypsy moth caterpillars (tent caterpillars they eat all the leaves off the trees.

Strange. Have you still got the story?

[–]Uniplanker 3 points4 points ago

The story can be found here. Spiders indeed.

I remember one year when I was a kid, near my cottage there was a really bad tent catepillar outbreak, they were so bad that cars were sliding off the highway when they were migrating across it.

I hope I never see something like that. That is an infestation did any trees survive?

[–]Shamson 0 points1 point ago

I was fairly young but I don't remember all the trees being killed. I think people ended up killing them off somehow.

I just thought of the best torture ever: Tie someone to the bottom of this tree and then lightly douse the top of the tree in spider repellent/insect spray (lightly, not enough to kill them but enough to make them lose their shit). Sit back and watch the spiders rain down.

Once when I was a kid we had whiteflies in our back yard too. Made the gardener come and kill them, then I played with my pet rabbit

[–]memobookchick 4 points5 points ago

Spiders dearies. The tree is COMPLETELY covered in webs, yet the leaves are still mostly there. If it was caterpillars there wouldn't be leaves on that tree at all. Not to mention this likely isn't a one time thing. If this level of infestation was to happen more than once there pretty much wouldn't be any trees there. So yeah, spiders. Spiders who eat mosquitoes. Mosquitoes that give you malaria. Nature motherfuggahs.

Im from pakistan and this is not even close to the atrocities that i have seen. I remember i was there when they attack on the pakistani general headquartes. I've had my first taste of human cruelty that day
