In the southeastern region of Pakistan, near Karachi, strange rows of trees have recently appeared, looking like snow-covered bones from afar. Local people call them “ghost” rows of trees, a phenomenon that has never appeared in the area.
Millions of spiders have gathered on the rows of trees to avoid flooding, spreading silk to cover the branches and leaves, making it look like a blanket of mist.
According to people in Sindh, near Karachi, the above strange phenomenon was caused by the terrible flood that occurred earlier, claiming the lives of nearly 2,000 people. Water covered the ground for many days, so spiders searched for it. The trees are still alive to take shelter, spin webs, and spider webs so thick that the trees cannot grow.
And strangely, when spiders appear, there are fewer mosquitoes. Even though the water is still stagnant, mosquitoes are most likely stuck in spider nests, so malaria and dengue fever here are significantly reduced.
