If you're an arachnophobe, look away now.

In some people's idea of hell, footage has been posted online showing spiders appearing to rain down from above in Brazil.

The video shows spiders clustered in the air at Espírito Santo do Dourado, about 250km northeast of São Paulo, with locals describing the seeing the sky “raining with spiders”.

Thankfully though, this isn't a sign of some sort of spider Armageddon.

Although it may look like the spiders are falling, they are actually moving around on a huge canopy-like web, with experts saying it's typical for the region when it is hot and humid to form a temporary shared web.

Which, if we're honest isn't a whole lot better...

João Pedro Martinelli Fonseca, who filmed one of the videos at his grandparent’s farm, told local newspapers that he was “stunned and scared”.

We don't blame you João!

Yet another reason to be thankful we're safe and sound from giant spider canopy web's here in Ireland.
