Afraid of Spiders?

Basically, a man walked out of a wedding and saw thousands of spiders crawling over the sky.

This is because they made a massive web between the telephone poles. Take a look. Its so freakin awesome

What do you call it when you're both very scared and very happy?

That's what I'm feeling.

I've read about it happening, but have never seen it.  It's a weird effect to be sure...

This reminds me of another story where loads of spiders made their webs in the trees to escape flooding in Australia:

As someone who is terrified of spiders I find these events very disturbing.

You guys keep worrying about Arachnids, I'll keep hoping nobody tries to weaponize Apocrita.

History is full of maniacs, my friend, men and women of intelect, highly perceptive individuals, who's brilliant minds know neither restraint nor taboo. Such notions are the devils we must slay for the edification of pony-kind. Even if said edification means violating the rules of decency, society, and rightousness itself.

That's neat.  Looks a lot like the soffits under my house.  Then again, the ones I have are garden spiders.

That sky looks a little grey, would't an unexpected shower send the spidies hurtling down on to the revellers?

This is a photo I took in Jamaica 3 years ago.  These are Banana Spiders and they are everywhere there.  This was in a park just outside of Ocho Rios.  They had built their web directly over the walkway.



I would take the biggest detour to avoid that
