[QUOTE="Geehi, post: 611427, member: 21138"] They're called sheet web spiders: [url]https://7news.com.au/news/animals/chilling-photos-of-spider-apocalypse-emerge-after-flooding-in-victorias-east-gippsland-c-3114343[/url] The area you can see covered in water is what's known locally as "The Morass" - it's part of the floodplain of the Thomson River which runs between Sale and the Esso Gas Plant at Longford. The spiders normally live peaceful and unobtrusive lives in the Morass, but when the river floods.....well, it seems that they can't swim very well :) [/QUOTE]
