 Scientoon on "Spider can swim also"

Common spiders can fly using a technique called 'ballooning'. This involves catching the wind by using their silk. Ballooning spiders are estimated to move up to 30 km per day when wind conditions are suitable, helping in their quest for new habitats and resources. The interesting fact discovered is they can swim or float in water (both marine as well as fresh water). For the first time, experts at the University of Nottingham have described how spiders use their legs as rudders and propel themselves across the water with the help of the wind.
