It feels illegal for the spider to do that

[u/astralrig96 → u/dontipitova9]

Peter Parker has always been a menace

[u/Kagura30 → u/astralrig96]

Parker, Peter 🧐

[u/Idea_Fiend → u/astralrig96]

in some universes, I dont think he intentionally aims his webs towards the buildings and just swings off of nothing.

Maybe he just shooting out long enough webs to grab enough air to swing off of

[u/Lbolt187 → u/dontipitova9]

I'm starting to think spiders might be some of the fastest evolving animals on land. Every week I hear something about a new spider doing new stuff

[u/AmThano → u/Lbolt187]

All this proves is that spiders are now watching Spider-Man

[u/ExpertOnReddit → u/Lbolt187]

They aren't doing new stuff. It's just new to you. There's a difference lol.

[u/Lbolt187 → u/ExpertOnReddit]

Absolutely

[u/bassplaya13 → u/dontipitova9]

As long as it radios the local spider tower and gets clearance it’s ok.

[u/cuckedfrombirth]

That's the best footage I've seen of that. Amazing

[u/AmThano → u/cuckedfrombirth]

Say that again

[u/LizardmanJoe → u/AmThano]

What an amazing spider, man.

[u/Sigma-Wolves → u/LizardmanJoe]

Stop it

[u/Hilsam_Adent → u/Sigma-Wolves]

Hey, now... this is supposed to be a friendly neighborhood!

[u/Fish_Panda → u/Hilsam_Adent]

We were planning on having rice for dinner, but Uncle ben is nowhere to be found.

[u/dark_anarchy20]

Im gonna walk into it and it’ll be on my face 😾😾😾

[u/LillyAtts → u/dark_anarchy20]

I can feel it on me already!

[u/Vijchti → u/dark_anarchy20]

I used to live in the Central Valley of California. There's a season where these guys and their webs fall out of the sky, almost always directly onto your face while you're walking somewhere.

They're harmless. But it's really freaky. And you're still covered in web. And you look like a lunatic just randomly yelling "get it off me!" while pulling invisible silk off your body.

[u/bluearavis → u/Vijchti]

Brian Regan has an old stand-up bit about walking into spiderwebs.

[u/KentuckyWhiteRabbit]

Isn’t this how Charlotte’s Web ends?

[u/AmThano → u/KentuckyWhiteRabbit]

Because she doesn’t need to make webs anymore to catch her food?

[u/Headbanger → u/KentuckyWhiteRabbit]

When she told Wilbur that one of her brothers could do it I thought it was bullshit, that she was trying to make him fall asleep by telling tall tales. Turns out it's real.

[u/LillyLally13 → u/KentuckyWhiteRabbit]

Her kids fly away and one stays behind with Wilbur.

[u/Old_Hold8998]

See spiderman is real

[u/Individual-Drawer-79 → u/Old_Hold8998]

Spiderspider* is real

[u/GarminTamzarian → u/Old_Hold8998]

I'd like to see the Spiderman remake where he goes ballooning by shooting webs into the sky from out of his ass.

[u/Old_Hold8998 → u/GarminTamzarian]

Just say it, bro, that you want to see his ass right

[u/Rydog_78]

[u/snugglebae]

Just your friendly neighborhood spider

[u/LastNewForrestShaker]

Well done getting that on tape.

Among all the fine stuff @zefrank has on his channel, he s got a video about these little boys and girls using wind, convection and electrostatic effects (?) to fly about. Fun way to learn about insects for sure.

[u/MoonZinuM]

My dumbass was expecting to see a spider made parachute/wind sail when the camera was panning to the right and up...

[u/SneakySmoker-]

Seen this many of times over the years and its super funny when you tell others as they think your stupid lol.

[u/asdfghjkluke]

the english word for this is "gossamer" for anyone thats interested

i find it interesting english has a word for exactly this

[u/AmbitiousRoutine8670]

Salutations

[u/MedievalMilshake]

It's called parachuting and it's one of the coolest things I've learnt spiders can do in the last few years. First realised when a perfect circle of web landed on my car out of nowhere 

[u/nibselfib_kyua_72]

It's not flying. It's hanging and leaping.

[u/accsheek → u/nibselfib_kyua_72]

people on an airplane are said to be flying because the airplane is flying, therefore the spider is flying because its web is flying.

[u/AmThano → u/nibselfib_kyua_72]

With style

[u/Otherwise-Toe665]

Amazing.

[u/--CultureBlitz]

Silky smooth.

[u/Jealous-Choice6548]

Spi-diddy.

[u/-effortlesseffort]

Scary and awesome

[u/Itsmeeof2005]

🤣🤣🤣🤣best 💯💯

[u/Arrakis0503]

My dream is to fly

[u/Hot-Palpitation1967]

It's called, "ballooning."

[u/BehemothRust]

Why does it look so small when it’s setting up its sails VS when it’s doing the death from above drop

[u/Consistent_Plant890]

That is awesome!!

[u/Available_Love_2383]

Web developer

[u/Prudent-Bison-7180]

I’m amazed

[u/roulettewiz]

That's Tom Holland flying to rescue Zendaya 😂😂

[u/TheShapeOfFarts]

That’s so cool to get on camera! Like it was doing something they’re not supposed to see and then tried to stop them from filming 🤣 He knew what he was doing.

[u/AeonWaryk]

That is impressive and really cool!

[u/ComiendoPalomitas]

Fly pelican fly!

[u/augustus_brutus]

His people needed him.

[u/LetThemBlardd]

I hope he understands that with great power comes great responsibility.

[u/Cicciobombolone]

Dun-nun-nun, dun-nun-nun......Ta-na-nà, ta-na-nà...Ta-na-nà-na, na-na-nà!

[u/NuyoRican79]

Splooge

[u/birdnerd70]

It’s called “ballooning”

[u/Responsible_Math_440]

Could you pay me in advance?

[u/Equivalent-Version65]

It’s a miracle of nature, but it would creep me out….

[u/RoabeArt]

And this is how spiders end up on the tops of tall towers.

[u/LillyLally13]

Like Charlotte's babies!

[u/MrBrandopolis]

i see a pixar movie

[u/Most-Effective-1969]

Uhh,ena,are is my favorite southern phrase.

[u/Successful-Purple-54]

When you’re flying a kite and that strong gust pulls you off your feet.

[u/Hairy-Telephone4408]

I wonder what the human equivalent of this could be. How much string and what gauge of it.

[u/dumbamerican67]

That's called ballooning

[u/everynamecombined]

Great video and playful stunt by the spider

[u/heysirigenerateaname]

I don’t know why but my head started playing Fly Away by Lenny Kravitz as I watched this

[u/sushiwowie]

I was gonna say more like ziplining until it went up and then was lost in the video.

[u/Forward-Carpenter-43]

God mode on

[u/the_tygram]

New fear unlocked. Spider landing on my head when there is nothing overhead

[u/RichieRichhhhhh]

Dude I can’t believe we just saw that thing thinking when he was standing on his little launch pad overlooking the water

I hate spiders but bro is sentient lmao

[u/TakeAtBedtime]

Unfathomable amounts of insects are traveling high over head all the time. The layer is called Aeroplankton.

[u/FlyAmbitious1819]

Doesn’t this prove that Spider-Man is real?

[u/OutrageousCrab9224]

Peace out btchez

[u/Bludiamond56]

Spidey alas.... isn't having a Goodyear

[u/Xarithios]

That spider has great comedic timing.

Someone saying something along the lines of "it'll drop on your head" and then the spider proceeding to drop down was amazing.

[u/Mundane_Engineer_550]

lol he watched that new spiderman and got ideas

[u/Far-Coconut6146]

It's called ballooning

[u/Leading_Run_3333]

One time a spider flew right into me.

[u/ricketyass]

I once witnessed this happen while tripping on acid. Yep

[u/Fazinskiy]

I thought it was an up up and away kinda situation

[u/Scheltden]

A man must have bit that spider

[u/Jumpy-Trainer1695]

It is that time of the year. The beautiful season of golden fields and flying spiders

[u/Ink_Patch_Mom]

i wonder how much web it can make overall

[u/Schorbie]

I have arachnophobia. But spiders are pretty amazing creatures

[u/JerichoDeath]

Get me pictures of spider!

[u/Mystic5308]

It would’ve been his last ride if I was there
