Reply to comment by gaptoothedneckbeard in TIL that many species of spiders can fly through the air with a technique called ballooning by last_air_nomad

I mean at some point aren’t you just describing a hot air balloon? So I would say yes!

anyone spider can make silk, not any human can get an air balloon but many can afford to buy trash bags, Ive looked into it, those fuckers are real expensive just getting a lighter than air license..... its like they don't want random people flying
