«The spiderweb was on a large surface area. It was an unreal sight. I couldn’t understand where it came from. I carefully looked around and saw… There were multiple spiders of different sizes on each web. It was a true sign of spring,» said Zhilinskene.
This phenomenon surprised naturalists as well.
Biologist Algirdas Vilkas admitted that this phenomenon surprised him.
«Interesting photo, I would call this phenomenon strange. The reason behind it is probably the changing weather. It was cold and then suddenly the snow started melting, and it warmed up.
In winter, there are not many insects that spiders feed on. Therefore, the spiders were searching for prey in warmer places where there could be insects.
Due to the fluctuation in temperature, spiders moved to warmer locations, which is why they spun so many webs here,» he explained.
He explained that spiders can go for a long time without food, and during cold weather, they hide in crevices, under leaves, and in other secluded places, which allows them to survive even in harsh times.
