RE: Surviving the Extremes: The Peak of Existence, Part 2
Hi. I think the spiders are awesome but creepy, as I read about them when I was a kid and got kind of terrified of the idea of spiders flying as I really disliked spiders already back then.
The aeroplankton sounds really interesting and I have never heard anything about them and I have never even thought of anything like that. This points out not only the limits of knowledge but the limits of imagination as I somehow did not even think something like this could be possible even though there are far more bizarre things in the world.
It's crazy right? In one experiment, they managed to catch a single termite from a plane, 19,000 feet in the air lol. 6 billion creatures pass overhead any given spot per month in England, more towards the south. Sometimes we really just gotta stop and look around and just get our minds blown!
It is. This is something I really need to tell my friends who have talked about moving into the mountains to avoid any unnecessary contact with spiders or insects. I do believe quite many insects and animals and different life forms are capable of living in truly extreme conditions we can't believe they are living in.
