WHAT DOES WIND-BORNE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Ballooning (spider)

Ballooning, sometimes called kiting, is a behaviour in which spiders and some other invertebrates use air-borne dispersal to move between locations. A spider, or spiderling after hatching, will climb as high as it can, stand on raised legs with its abdomen pointed upwards, and then release several silk threads from its spinnerets into the air. These automatically form a triangular shaped parachute which carries the spider away on updrafts of winds where even the slightest of breezes will disperse the arachnid. The Earth's static electric field may also provide lift in windless conditions. Many spiders use especially fine silk, called "gossamer" to lift themselves off a surface, or, the silk may be used by a spider being blown by winds to anchor itself mid-flight. The term "gossamer" is used metaphorically for any exceedingly fine thread or fabric. Biologists also apply the term "balloon silk" to the threads that mechanically lift and drag systems. It is generally thought that most spiders heavier than 1 mg are unlikely to use ballooning. Because many individuals die during ballooning, it is less likely that adults will balloon compared to spiderlings.
