'Spider web' in Pakistan

The web covered the trees in a village in Pakistan after a terrible flood last summer, creating an unusual sight.

Trees covered with spider webs grow close to the lake near a village called Sindh in Pakistan.


A little girl stood next to the tree covered with spider web. More than 2,000 people died and 20 million were affected by last year's floods.


When the flood water peaks, water engulfs an area of ​​hundreds of thousands of square kilometers. In Sindh village alone, the flood peak is 6 meters above the ground.

Spider webs reduce the amount of light that plants receive, causing them to die.

All the trees and bushes that rise above the surface of the water become the shelter of spiders during the flooding days.

But on the other hand, a large number of mosquitoes get caught in the spider web, thus reducing people's risk of malaria.
