That part is really not addressed at all. They can fly? To what altitude? How does a spider even fly like this in the first place?

- adrian_b 5y agoA young spider makes a long silk string, which will be blown by the wind, together with the attached spider. Like a human who flies using a balloon, the spider does not have any control over the flight direction. That depends on the winds. However, the spider can control when to descend back to the ground, by gathering the silk string, like the human with the balloon, who can release the gas which fills the balloon.
