Video: Giant spider web covers the whole field in New Zealand

Visitors discovered a field covered with fine mesh created by thousands of small spiders in New Zealand.

A guest named Tracy Maris discovered spider silk about 30 meters long, 2-3 meters wide near a football field in the outskirts of Papamoa, eastern New Zealand, according to Live Science.

Maris thinks this spider web is empty. But when looking closely, she said she saw thousands of small black dots, which are spiders that make up this silk layer. Images are recorded on a hill to avoid the newly created tsunami. Maybe this place attracts spiders looking for higher positions after the first flood of the week.

The net is said to be made of many types of silk with different properties. New Zealand owns a large number of spiders, the largest of which is Cambridgea foliata . The leg length of this spider is as large as the palm of a human hand, while its net can be up to a meter wide. Scientists are unsure about which spiders have made such a big network.

However, this giant spider web only exists for a short time. It was destroyed by a dog running in the field immediately after Maris filmed. After that, a thunderstorm wiped away the remaining traces.
