A stunned mum thought Halloween had come early after discovering giant cobwebs covering trees and bushes in her local park.
Shocked Sarah Longfellow, 34, first thought the foliage was coated in "silly string" or "fake snow" before noticing the silken nests were alive with thousands of crawling insects.
The mum - who has an intense phobia of spiders - admitted she was initially "creeped out" by the cobwebs, which had shrouded an entire tree and several bushes overnight.
