Hmmmmmm, flying spiders, there’s some nightmare fodder...

They refer to those long webs for flying as gossamer webs. The can stay afloat for long periods and travel long distances.

It's always a surprise when we're reintroduced to this matron named Nature

Thanks Jon, as I take pictures of spiders, never can take those, it gives me some ideas for making some "tools" for that purpose. ;-)
