Spiders are not just lurk in the corners of your home - they jump with a parachute from the sky

Is it a bird? It is the plane? No, this is a terrible spider!

If spiders scare you enough up to this point, now you know that they are still flying around everywhere. Spiders and any small invertebrates used a method called ballooning, kiting or to get where they want.

Representatives of any sufficiently small species of spiders climb as high as possible, stand on its hind legs and belly up producing more silk threads of its web-up. Threads web act as a parachute and raise the spider into the air upstream or use for this static electric field of the Earth in calm weather.

The good news is that spiders are heavier than one milligram can not engage in aeronautics due to its weight. In addition, this type of movement relative to the spider is dangerous because of the large number of deaths as a result of ballooning, so adult spiders will avoid it.

Nevertheless, the thought of thousands of tiny tots spiders, flying through the air, appalling. Watch the sky!
