It Only Looks Like A Tree Wearing Spanx.
The unprecedented flooding in Pakistan in the latter half of 2010  disrupted the lives of 20 million people, but it also affected the  country’s arachnid population. With more than a fifth of the country submerged, millions  of spiders climbed into trees to escape the rising floodwaters. The  water took so long to recede, the trees became covered in a cocoon of spiderwebs. [Via Wired  UK]

Shudder.
