Pffft. Give me enough electricity and watch me fly thru the air.

Electric flying spiders??!! Next they’ll have laser beams eyes and spiders have eight eyes! That’s it we’re doomed, it’s all over!

Whenever I fly the TR-3B, that’s how it’s powered.

That and a Mr. Home Fusion.

Small spiders only.

Imagine if a full grown Huntsman, as otherwise harmless to people as they are, could do this?

[Tenacious 1]

Flying spiders. Great.

This must also be how Superman does that flying thing, right?

[M Kehoe]

Figure this phenomenon out, and low earth orbit will be a piece of cake. For everybody.

As if Sharknado wasn’t enough. OMG flying electric spiders!

[catbertz]

Just another reason to destroy all spiders, before they destroy us!!

Time to ramp up the search for another life supporting planet. This one is doomed.

Last week I was sitting at a table in the shade of a large oak. A spider climbed to the top of a nearby chair. It stopped moving and, with no pause, went from the chair to a tree branch six feet above it at a 45 degree angle. It took about three seconds. Calm day with only an occasional weak breeze. I have never seen a spider do that. It was like it had wings.

IMO electric fields are much more dominant in nature than any of our fields of science acknowledge, outside of plasma physics.

[DouglasKC]

Someone tell me how this evolved.
