Once again, the ever-growing 'Damn Nature, You Scary' file has another entrant and this time, it's huge. HUGE.

Scientists in Baltimore, Maryland discovered an entire building had been coated in one, gigantic spider web. Over 4 acres - that's the size of about three football pitches - were coated in a spider's web.

The science types did the math and calculated that approximately 107 MILLION spiders called the Wastewater Treatment Plant in Baltimore their home.

The workers inside the people reported that they would sweep up literal sheets of spider's web, saying that they were roughly as thick as a fire hose.

Ick.

There's more. At one point, a little over 95% of the plant was covered in spider webs. Scientists are even saying their estimate of 107 million is a very conservative guess.

So yeah, that's us off to check under every chair, table, bed and everything in the house.
