Lo que parece un paraíso invernal es, en realidad, una impresionante migración de millones de arañas emprendiendo el vuelo mediante un proceso llamado “ballooning” (vuelo arácnido).
Durante finales del verano y principios del otoño, las arañas liberan finas hebras de seda y dejan que el viento las transporte a través del paisaje.
El resultado es una capa surrealista de seda, similar a la nieve, que cubre campos y árboles — una técnica de migración inquietante pero inofensiva que la naturaleza realiza con total facilidad. hastaghs

Increíble espectáculo de la naturaleza: millones de arañas surcando el aire con su “ballooning”, cubriendo campos y árboles con finas hebras de seda que parecen nieve. ❄️🕷️

WindBorne's #CEO bravely admits that their balloon might have freaked out some pilots, as if claiming the skies for themselves wasn't enough 🌬️🎈.

Yes, I think this was a WindBorne balloon. We learned about UA1093 and the potential that it was related to one of our balloons at 11pm PT on Sunday and immediately looked into it. At 6am PT, we sent our preliminary investigation to both NTSB and FAA, and are working with both of
