Everything appears to be connected in very peculiar ways at times.
The shiny black spiders that originated the name ‘money spider’ belong to the genus Erigone. Several of these are very common in Britain. They use a method of dispersal called ‘ballooning’. The spider lets out a strand of silk into the air, wind currents lift the spider into the air, and it ‘flies’.

At certain times of the year many millions of money spiders use this method to move to new areas. This is how spiders occasionally get caught in people’s hair – it was thought when this happened the person would be coming into money – hence the name money spider! For extra good luck you are supposed to spin the spider around your head by its web before letting it go!
But why a money spider?
Why not a, uhhh… healthy spider?
