Thanks for sharing Fred. That is fascinating stuff. I have often looked up at my martins and wondered why they were foraging at 100 feet (even though I knew the answer). All the bugs seemed to be a lot lower, at least to my human eye.

Very interesting and informative post Fred. It is simply amazing what is ever present yet we don't realize it because our eyes do not see it.
Thanks for sharing it.

Persistence is not necessarily the key to success, but can be likened to the proverbial sand that brings forth a precious pearl.

Hi Fred,
That was a pretty amazing video. Who would have thought spiders could get up and move though our atmosphere? I can say I have definately learned something new today. Thanks for sharing that.
