Thousands of spiders from twelve species worked together to construct this amazing web that spans over 600 feet. This is highly unusual behavior for spiders that normally fight over territory and prey, preferring to eat their enemies and build independent, solitary circular webs. However, record rainfalls provided such an abundance of edible insects that (scientists speculate) the spiders chose cooperation over conflict in this extraordinary case of evolutionary adaptation. Even more exceptional: the spiders did not just build it in the first place but have actually rebuilt the web three times after wind and rain has destroyed it.

This is incredible, I have never heard of spiders exhibiting this behaviour before, truly fascinating, there must be so much we don't know, I think we all need to slow down sometimes and take time to absorb the wonderful world of nature in all it's beauty, the healing energy we can gather from nature is truly magnificent.
