You dont need wings to fly. Some young species of spider travel long distances by casting strands of silk into fast moving air columns. These act like parachutes and sometimes take them into the upper atmosphere, depositing them on remote islands and distant mountains. The Himalayan jumping spider lives as high as 22,000ft above sea level. Its only source of food at these extreme heights is stray insects blown up by the wind.
