These rare images with hundreds of eight -legged Crawlies 'Raining from the Sky' are explained as a bizarre and spicy phenomenon.
Hundreds of spiders descended from the sky in a scene that could be compared to snowflakes that fall – but with eight real limbs.
The scenes that have now been shared online were recorded on the camera in Sao Thome Das Letra, in the state of Minas Gerais in Brazil.
Although the nightmare -like scene used users online after they have been uploaded to social media, experts have explained the science behind the foreign event.
Biologist and experts flowed to offer context to the sky of spiders, in which the affected insects were revealed, were on a very large web, couples in a ritual 'orgy'.
A biologist, Kayron Passos, gave the situation context through a local news in the media.
He said: 'It's a spider orgic. The females have something that is called spermatheca, where they store the sperm of different men to fertilize the eggs.
“In this way the female ensures that she will have different offspring and increase genetic variability.”

He said, “This behavior increases the resistance, making these offspring more resistant to diseases.”
Arachnologist Ana Lucia Tourinho said that although spiders' do not stay together ', certain species will show more' social behavior.
The expert with a doctorate in biological sciences said: 'Spiders generally do not stay together, but some species show this social behavior of forming colonies.
“The strategy to stay together in a group increases the food supply for the descendants and young people.”
The expert, who has been studying the scary crawlies for almost three decades, added: 'The colony usually forms every year, most in the colony are family members, they are usually generations of mothers and daughters together, but after they pairs they will Spread. '
Despite the scientific background, viewers were stupidly founded by the clip that appeared online a month after it was published by the local press.
