Stewart Perrie 23:55, 14 June 2021 BST Just when you thought the mice plague was the only critter problem Australians had to deal with, spiders have arrived. Blankets of spiderwebs have invaded parts of Victoria after floods swept through the region. Horror storms lashed many areas of the state, with some of the worst affected places including near Broadford, which is north of Melbourne; parts of the Dandenong Ranges; and Traralgon, Morwell and Tinamba, which are east of the capital.

People have uploaded images to Reddit showing how elaborate and dense these spiderweb blankets are and it is every arachnophobic's worst nightmare.
