Spider webs have covered parts of the North Island in recent days, leaving homes, fences, trees and parks draped in fine silk. The webs have been seen from parts of Auckland to Hawke’s Bay.
The phenomenon is called ballooning. It happens when young spiders release thin threads of silk into the air and use the wind, and even tiny electric currents, to travel to new places. Arachnologist Dr Fiona Cross said spiders do not have wings, but this is one way they can “fly”. Some spiders can travel very long distances this way, including from Australia to New Zealand.
In Havelock North and Napier, people described the silk shining in the sunlight like frost or a “silver sea”.
