Scariest video in history shows what happens when spiders organize

2/10/2013

The good news is that of the roughly 39,000 different species of spiders in the world, only 20 are known to work in groups. The bad news is, when they do organize, it's a freaky thing to observe. This video, shot in Santo Antonio da Platina, Brazil, which can officially kiss any tourism aspirations goodbye, shows the species Anelosimus eximius creating enormous sheet webs between utility poles. The group then presumably feasts together on all the eagles and pterodactyls they catch while they finalize plans to enslave us all. [Source]
