Drought-ridden Australia needs all the rain it can get, but earlier this month something other than precipitation fell from the sky.

Millions of tiny spiders appeared to rain down on a rural town as they "flew" and landed in spider webs as part of a "migration phenomenon," the Goulburn Post reported.

"The whole place was covered in these little black spiderlings and when I looked up at the sun it was like this tunnel of webs going up for a couple of hundred metres into the sky," Ian Watson, a resident of Goulburn, told the Sydney Morning Herald.

Almost two hours outside of Sydney, Australia, Goulburn said the area looked "taken over by spiders."
