In the town of Santo Antônio da Platina in the south of Brazil, the Anelosimus eximius spiders make “sheet webs” together in the late afternoons to capture insects. This species is very sociable and cooperative, which we think means they’ll say hello to you before launching their swarm attack. These spiders weave their own section of a sheet in the trees, and then they combine them with the sheets from other spiders. The result is an enormous web across the sky populated with thousands of spiders as seen in the video below and OH JESUS WHY DOES THIS EXIST?
Brazilian news portal G1 reports that this footage was captured by 20-year-old web designer Erick Reis as he was leaving a friend’s engagement party this past Sunday. [Gawker]

Alright humans, time to pack it up, we’ve had a good run.
Nuke Brazil YESTERDAY!
If we nuke them, we’re gonna need to borrow Godzilla to fight the end result. So umm NOPE.

NOOOOOOOOOPE! NopeNopeNopeNopeNopeNopeNopeNope
There isn’t a nuclear facility near there, right? Or Brazil becomes SPIDER-ISLAND!
It’s like a scarier version of “the dome”.The spiders have learned that man is the most dangerous game… and they came to play!
OH GOD KILL IT WITH FIRE
Can you imagine coming hoe drunk and you actually trip into one of those webs. Basically I don’t want to be the only one with that horrifying image in your mind
