Spiders can take to the skies in a process called ballooning, in which they position their bodies to catch air, spinning out silk that uses wind—and the electric field—to create lift. To learn more about this process, read on here: https://on.natgeo.com/2UKQ9mN
I came here cause i saw inside my house a very skinny spider that has hair in his body (hair like long leg hair) and a very skinny legs that can fly up and down Edit: Welp. A fly snatched him
A spider "ballooned" into my shoulder yesterday while I my car window was open. It was traumatizing. It almost flew into my face while I was trapped in a car.
So i was at my pool with my sister and she was screaming “OH MY GOD THERES A FLYING SPIDER” and I get out to look and I hit the ground and it starts flying torwards me so I jump on the pool
I WAS JUST IN MY ROOM PLAYING OVERWATCH AND I SAW THIS REALLY REALLY SMALL SPIDER ON MY PILLOW. IT WENT ON MY WALL AND I TRIED TO SMASH IT WITH A SANDAL AND IT STARTED FLYING. I AM NEVER GOING BACK IN MY ROOM AGAIN!!!!
I just had a spider on the end of a pen, and it jumped off and caught the wind like a kite and just floated off until i couldn't see it anymore. I couldn't believe it, I've never seen it before. I looked this video up right after.

Who Else Is Here Beacuse They Saw A Spider Flying In Their House?
Imagine walking on a normal day then boom a spider hit your face XD
Cool LolXD 🙂
Now they actually have wings…
So how they produce charged silk? I still kinda can't imagine how it exactly works.
As I thought, that's wind as well
spiders arent insects so obviously i wouldnt guess that
No just no.
Imagine you saw a spider flying before watching this
That explains why at night when I shine my flashlight at the sky I swear I see spider silk in random places.
Well…time to leave this planet…
Nature is fuxking amazing. Like I bet spiders flew before humans even thought about it.
