They are only tiny little things. They let out a long piece of silk, something like a meter or two, and thats long enough with enough drag to lift them away.
Now, if you have a fear of all spiders, I feel for you. If you have a fear of big fuckoff spiders, I can assure you that these are tiny, smaller than a pin head.
Yeah I’ve got a fear of big fuck off spiders, thankfully I’m in England so nothing major, but as we approach winter plenty of house spiders are going to appear out of the cracks!
