SONDERBORG, Denmark, Sept. 3 (UPI) — A Danish man shared video showing the pebble hoisted three feet off the ground by a spider’s web after being used as a corner weight by the arachnid.
Nicholas Steenberg of Sonderborg posted a video to YouTube showing the pebble hanging in the air by strands of spider web outside his woodshed.
He said the spider apparently used the pebble as a corner weight for the web and it ended up hoisted into the air.
“I found a pebble at the base of this spider web that was used as a corner weight to construct the web. It was incredible to imagine how it hoisted the rock up 3 feet above the ground. This shows the amazing strength and wit that these creatures have,” Steenberg wrote in the video’s description.
