Spiders Spin Webs Across Eastern Australia to Escape Flood Waters (PHOTOS)

Three Australian states have record-high summer rains over the past week, flooding rivers and forcing dams to overflow.

Over 13,000 people were evacuated from their homes, Tuesday, as regions of eastern Australia are submerged in water.

However, humans are not the only sufferers of flooding in Australia. Spiders have reportedly spun webs around trees, plants and bushes to escape flood waters.

Such phenomenon was also observed in Pakistan's Sindh province in 2010, following a devastating flood that occurred in July the same year. Millions of spiders had cocooned trees in Sindh province to escape the rising floodwaters.

Check out below the latest pictures of spiderwebs spread across eastern Australia.
