LONDON Greg Olsen Panthers Jersey , July 3 (Xinhua) -- When it comes to special super powers the comic hero Spiderman has a rival -- the spider. New research from Britain shows the common spider can travel vast distances across water like a ship. They even use their legs as sails and their silk as anchors.

Research published Friday in the open access academic journal BMC Evolutionary Biology reveals how spiders are able to travel across vast distances, and why they are able to quickly colonize new areas.

Academic researchers found spiders, using a technique called ballooning, can journey up to 30 km a day in their quests to find new habitats and resources.

It was always thought the travelling strategies of spiders was risky as they had little control over where they travelled.

Dr Morito Hayashi from London's Natural History Museum Kawann Short Panthers Jersey , London, lead author of the report, said: "Even Darwin took note of flying spiders that kept dropping on the ship, the Beagle Trai Turner Panthers Jersey , miles away from the sea shore. But given that spiders are terrestrial, and that they do not have control over where they will travel when ballooning, how could evolution allow such risky behavior to be maintained?"
