Some spiderlings don't balloon to a new home, but set out on foot instead. Not all spiders catch their food in webs. Some spiders chase down or pounce on their prey instead. No matter how they hunt, all spiders can take care of themselves as soon as they are born. Make a spider to balloon away in the wind.
Spiders send out long strands of silken thread that are caught by the wind.
They travel through the air, often very high up, hanging from the threads. This is called ballooning. If milkweed seeds are not available, make 'parachutes' of paper or cloth and string. Hold the 'spider' up to the wind and wait until the wind fills the parachute. Follow your ballooning spider if you can.
