Re: A new crop from Australia!
After the mouse plague comes the spiders, all due to adverse weather, apparently:
"A town in south-east Australia has found itself blanketed in spider webs after wild weather hit the area.
Traralgon in eastern Victoria has been swamped by vast, other worldly sheets of web as spiders climb to higher ground following the disruption of heavy rain.
It's the latest plague to hit the area, after mice rampaged through parts of the state, again linked to extreme weather."

Not good news for arachnophobics, that's for sure.
"Arachnophobia refers to the intense fear of spiders, or spider phobia. While it’s not uncommon for people to dislike arachnids or insects, phobias of spiders can have a far more significant impact on your life."
