so i went to sommerville again today --and again was let down ---but now to the crazy part

i was in the middle of the lake ---- 1/2 a mile from the nearest shore -- and kept getting spiderwebs all over the place

this is the second time it has happened to me there and i know my boat is not infested !

That is how they migrate. They throw their webs out into the air and the wind catches it. They hang onto their webs and ride the wind to where ever it takes them.

im 53 years old and have spent my whole life on the water and have never seen this before --with that being said i find that answer to be logical --but what was funny was that close to shore did not observe it as much !

Is this the same kind of spider that makes webs around limbs on my Live Oak tree?

You might be crazy but flyin' spiders is real.

Fairly common in my area. I remember once, many years ago I was in downtown Houston to get a passport. Waaay up, like 40 stories or more I looked out the window and watched as many of the flying spiders went by, likely on an aerial voyage of many, if not many dozens of miles.

It is the natural habit of some species to spread their range this way.

Crazy, but that's how I remember learning about it too...thus crazy weather has spiders, ladybugs, mosquitoes, fire ants, and others procreating much earlier than normal...seems like it has jumped into the 80s every other week since the end of Nov
