That time the sky was full of spiders

February 12, 2013 by Andrew Leave a Comment

This happened. Not one for anyone suffering arachnophobia.

The film was taken by a 20-year-old web designer who was leaving an engagement party. Experts are not surprised it happened; this is how these spiders hunt.

Deborah Smith, an entomologist at the University of Kansas who specializes in social spiders told press;

“The spiders in the video are very large and robust,”

“It might be worth looking at Parawixia bistriata, a large, group-living orb weaver, to see if that one fits the bill.”
