Spiderweb-engulfed trees in Pakistan after a great flood

In July 2010, 10 years of rain fell into parts of Pakistan that left millions of people (and spiders) homeless.

As a survival mechanism, spiders took homage and blanketed some of the trees.

What resulted was cotton candy and ghost-like cocooned trees that protected the locals against a rash of mosquitoes.
