Spiders who make their homes along now-swollen riverbanks are seeking refuge as well, and their rebuilt communities are either one of the most beautiful things you've ever seen or a real-life nightmare. Photos from the area show what at first glance appears to be a gentle fog rolling across the countryside, but is actually a sea of insect-ensnaring webs.
