Residents in New South Wales, Australia

had a horrifying shock when thousands of baby
spiders quite literally rained down from the
sky. People found homes and gardens covered
with the spiders and mounds of their silky threads.
The terrifying scenes would probably cause
mass panic in most places, however
the phenomenon commonly known as ‘Spider
Rain’, ‘Angel Hair’ and ‘ballooning’, is not
uncommon across parts of Australia. Ballooning is
a form of spider transportation which is when
some species of spiders climb to the highest
heights that they possibly can, like on the tops of
plants or trees. They then use their web as
parachutes and leap off. The silk catches on the
breeze and carries the spider. People are then left
with the gossamer, which is the name for the silver
sheets of silken webs left behind. Reportedly, this
is going on around us all the time, but at a much
smaller scale.
