Wagga spiders spin fields of webs

[Kellie]

Humans aren't the only ones trying to flee the floods in Wagga Wagga.

Thousands of spiders have crawled into farm fields in the city's northern outskirts to escape the swollen Murrumbidgee River.

The tiny arachnids have woven spectacular webs among the high grasslands, shrouding the paddocks in a vast sticky net.

Local children have been stopping to admire the eye-catching phenomenon and take photographs.

If they ever want to shoot a remake of the William Shatner crap-fest "Kingdom of the Spiders", they now have the stock footage. I swear that first picture looks exactly like a shot from that film except there's no fat dude being eaten in the corner. :

I gotta agree with Brandon here. I don't mind spiders really, but a lot of spiders, no thank you.

I don't like spiders at all, So that would be hell for me.
