An example of an organism that adapted well to the floods were the numerous spiders living on and in the ground in Pakistan. When the rain came, the spiders took refuge in the trees. As the water was slow to recede, the spiders needed to find a way to catch food so they spun their webs in the trees. (Imagine thousands of spiders all spinning webs in the trees, its terrifying) Could this have changed the spider population in Pakistan? Probably not in such a short time but had the water level stayed up, the people of Pakistan may have started to see changes in the spider population. Spiders would have longer legs for easier tree-gripping. They may change slightly in coloration so that they will blend in with the tree bark better. The spiders with the best traits for living in the trees would survive. The pictures below are a few more shots of the silk covered, spider filled trees. The pictures were taken in the village of Sindh, Pakistan.
"It was largely spiders," said Russell Watkins. "Certainly, when we were there working, if you stood under one of these trees, dozens of small, very, very tiny spiders would just be dropping down onto your head."
