At any moment all over the world animals and plants are sailing through the sky Birds and butterflies soar flap glide and flit on journeys of hundreds of thousands thousands of miles Locusts swarm by the millions an airborne airborne river of buzzing insects eating everything in their path Bats flutter their skin-covered wings zigzagging through the night sky Some spiders are balloonists floating on silken threads carried to great heights by the wind Feathery dandelion tufts sail aloft on the gentlest breezes Winged fruits and seeds whirl downward downward through the air spinning like tiny helicopters
