Spiders fall from the sky all the time. Most airborne spiders are small and scattered, so they often go unnoticed, except when they descend all at once. A rain of spiders drowned the Australian town of Goulburn in silk in 2015. A Goulburn resident who bravely looked up saw a several-hundred-metre tunnel of spiderlings in the air, he said. The spiders parachuted in on long strands of webbing, a behaviour that biologists call "ballooning". Link to the story. |
