The vagaries of nature test even animals, which have to adapt to survive.
This is the case of spiders in a region of Pakistan, which have had to move to the treetops, creating a spooky scenario .
The great floods suffered in Pakistan have caused millions of spiders to move to the treetops so as not to drown.
There they have created a curious landscape in the Sindh region, in which the fabrics extend from one tree to another, completely covering them in a gigantic web as if it were a strange cotton candy.
Rarely has something similar been seen, and this time, in addition to the strange landscape, it has a positive effect, and that is that millions of mosquitoes have been trapped, which in the area has reduced the risk of contracting malaria.
But it is not the only novelty in the arachnid world, also in recent weeks biologists have found the longest and strongest spider web in the world.
It has been found in Madagascar, and the tenant spider is Caerostrisdarwini, or "Darwin's bark spider," of enormous proportions and whose species has also recently been discovered.
This "spider" is capable of manufacturing the most resistant biological material in the world, a hard silk of 2.8 square meters that suspends through rivers up to 25 meters wide.
It is so powerful, that the fabric can trap a multitude of prey at the same time and not break, in fact it is 10 times more resistant than the kevlar, so its use in bulletproof vests is already being studied.
This discovery has removed from the ranking the 180-meter web that was discovered in 2007 in the park of Lake Tawakoni, in Texas, since this time it was not a single specimen who wove it, but the collaboration of many arachnids that made fabric so compact that sunlight was unable to pass through it, and that it caught so many prey that the smell of rot reached hundreds of meters around.
To date this is the first case of cooperation between arachnids.
