I am too scared to open the links as I am VERY frightened of the S word

But am also strangely intrigued by your responses

Can someone tell me in arachnophobe-friendly words what it is please

[twinkytonk]

I'm very scared of them too.

It's webs all over trees.

[Mrswhiskerson]

tHat tree is my worst nightmare

[LoveLeonardCohen]

(shudder) spiders

[Dreya]

I know it's going to disturb me and so I can't look. But I want to. No I don't. Oh no. I looked at a link posted a couple of months back, of a horrid growth, and I still can't get the image out of my head. I think I'm going to look.

[knockinonyerdoor]

There are no spiders in the photos notnow. Not even close-ups of the webs. Just photos of trees looking sort of... shrouded. If that's even a word

[PelvicFloorsOfSteel]

They're strangely beautiful! And very useful, as the article says, reducing malaria. I'd much rather have spiders than mosquitoes and flies.

[Ingles2]

I'm with Meglet. It's beautiful. I don't like spiders particularly but I'd love to see as tree like that.

[Dreya]

I looked. It wasn't so bad. Bizbee you're spot on. Eerie indeed.

[DramaInPyjamas]

It's creepy.. but in a beautiful, weird way.. not scary, horrible.

Wouldn't like to be anywhere near it though incase they all fell out on my head or something.. eww.

[expatinscotland]

I've got this insatiable urge to fire a rocket launcher at those trees and torch all the spiders.

[ShavingGodfreysPrivates]

This picture was around long before April Fools day, I saw alink to it last week.

YANBU to dislike the idea of thousands of spiders living in those trees

[notnowbernard]

No... decision made, I'm not looking

Am on my own tonight and can't handle intrusive thoughts about webs and their owners [fucking pathetic emoticon]

[Saggyoldclothcatpuss]

Beautiful but also makes my skin crawl!!

[FebreezeYourJeans]

Looks like the broccoli in my fridge drawer

[FirstVix]

Read that all those spiders have reduced malaria due to all those spiders gobbling up the mosquitos.
Looks surreal.

[Jacinda]

Oh, it's beautiful. Trees in veils. The nature is mourning with people.

[nobiggy]

Those spiders have been busy!

[mummynoseynora]

I feel sick

[MittzyBittzyTeenyWeeny]

That is awesome, although I can see why people wouldn't like it.

[tomhardyismydh]

you could have produced a spider warning in title.

seriously i will struggle to leave my seat now let alone sleep tonight.

[LifeIsButtercream]

Very beautiful, and I guess the reduced mozzie population was probably a good thing for people who live in that area - although I now feel very very itchy........ shudder

[rantingranter]

I think they are amazing (and I can see why they look creepy).

I'm sure there is a group of spiders that live in the Amazon or another rainforest that do a similar thing. Their combined webs can stretch for miles.

A brilliant example of survival and adjusting to your surroundings.

[MortaIWombat]

The caterpillars of a moth do this too.
In England. Sleep well, guys.

Wow. Both links are beautiful.
