Wow, I remember a few years ago the remnants of one of the hurricanes that hit the gulf coast included high winds that deposited some sort of flying insect all over the side of my house. I mean literally coated the house on one side. Still alive and no one seemed to know what they were for sure.

OMG - this is the stuff nightmares are made up of - I may never sleep again!!!! These people are laughing now, but wait until those hundreds of spiders have hundreds of babies etc. Ever see the videos and photos of that town in Australia where the land, farmhouses and trees were so blanketed by spider webs that it looked at first glance like everything was covered in snow? I believe that was right after a major storm and all the spiders sought refuge in a condensed mass in one location.

OH MY GOD!!!! I can't believe they are so casual about the whole thing. I would be duct taping every crack in my house. That's my worst nightmare come true.

Some explanation behind the video: How about glancing up and seeing thousands of spiders swaying and dangling in the sky? That's what Erick Reis, 20, witnessed when leaving an engagement party in the Brazilian town of Santo Antonio da Platina—so he shot a video that has since gone viral, the Examiner reports. Turns out the phenomenon is not uncommon, as the Anelosimus eximius spider likes to build webs big enough to fit thousands. Winds sometimes carry the webs and drop them in new locales in a so-called "spider rain." So, despite appearances, it's really the spiders who are scared. here
