Massive Spider Webs Cover South-Eastern Victoria In Australia

In the Gippsland area of southeastern Victoria in Australia, huge spider webs were seen covering the field, roads, vegetation and other parts which has created 'gossamer' sheets. However, it was noticed only after heavy rainfall and flash flood. This is said to have occurred due to spider's defence mechanism called "ballooning". It has enabled the spiders to latch onto the vegetation with silk helping them escape.
