Ghost Trees in the world

The eye-catching phenomenon is an unexpected side-effect of last year's flooding which claimed the lives of almost 2,000 people.The tiny arachnids have sought refuge amongst the trees weaving beautifully intricate webs between the leaves.

 The branches are  so cocooned in spiders webs it gives the appearance of them being shrouded in a large net. People in this part of Sindh, in south eastern Pakistan, near Karachi, have never seen this phenomenon before, but locals are reporting that there are now fewer mosquitos than they would expect, given the amount of stagnant, standing water that is around.

Millions of spiders climbed up into the trees to escape the rising flood waters, shrouding them with their silky webs.

  Because of the scale of the flooding and the fact that the water has taken so long to recede, many trees have become cocooned in ghostly spiders webs.
