Spider ballooning is an interesting phenomena. I also assumed that the spider is just falling a bit slower than the air is rising, due to convection. However some people think there is also a strong electrostatic component to spider ballooning. I'm not sure how that works once the spider is well clear of the ground though. |

Apparently the electric field is till quite strong some way from the surface.
