An entire town in Argentina has been covered by a thick layer of spider webs that has blanketed almost all objects in the town, including areas of water.
The invasion took place after an army of spiders had invaded El Destino, which consists of hamlets and rural villages that are 10 miles away from Lezama City in Argentina.
Locals claim that the spiders moved into the town to escape the flooding in lower regions caused by heavy rains, according to the Daily Mail.
They have even dubbed the unusual sight of cobwebs as "baba del Diablo," which translates as "slime of the devil," The Independent reported.
The flooding of spiders has affected around 20,000 people, with 2,000 of them being forced out of their homes.
The spiders absconded to neighboring towns where they began to create webs using threads that were already used by the arachnids that parachuted into the area. They are able to travel a few kilometers to safe ground with the use of the threads to hover on the wind.
Local officials assert that the spiders and the webs are nothing to worry about because they do not pose any harm and are not a threat to the town or its citizens. However, residents insist that the problem has never been more extreme, according to Mirror.
