Video: Giant Cobweb Covers Greek Beach

Residents of a town in Greece were astounded earlier this week when they  discovered that spiders had covered part of their beach with an  enormous web. The nightmarish natural netting apparently appeared  overnight in the town of Aitoliko and was noticed by unnerved members of  the community on Monday morning. Measuring an astounding 1,000 feet  long, the massive cobweb created a rather eerie scene at the beach as it  enveloped numerous different plants in a veritable cocoon of  creepiness.

Experts say that the source of the spookiness were spiders of the  Tetragnatha genus which are known for producing such vast webs. A spider  specialist consulted by one media outlet assured residents that such an occurrence is "not unprecedented" and  that the eight-legged wonders posed no danger to people nor to the  plants that were covered by the cobweb. She also explained that the  spiders likely built their web on the beach at Aitoliko because the area  boasts warm temperatures, high humidity, and an abundance of mosquitoes  to provide food.
