Triangular spiders
Scientific name: Arkyidae
Description
Members of the Arkyidae family exhibit a fascinating behavior of 'ballooning', seemingly flying through the air, which is actually a dispersal method using their silk. This ability enables them to colonize new habitats by catching wind currents, showcasing an incredible adaptation for survival. Contrary to some myths, they do not pose any harm to humans; their presence is beneficial as they play an essential role in controlling insect populations. Their remarkable silk production not only functions in mobility but is also fundamental in creating intricate webs that serve as both homes and traps for prey.
