Why spiders are seeking refuge in people’s homes in Australia
Description
March 24, 2021
Mother nature has taken a toll on Australia’s wildlife in the past couple of years. First, the wildfire crisis that killed nearly 3 billion animals across the county, and recently, record-breaking floods in the country’s southeast coast. Among the creatures escaping to drier grounds during the recent floods are spiders — lots and lots of spiders— so if you don’t like them, you might want to look away while Global’s Sharmeen Somani brings us the story.
