Ask for source if you want, but consider googling it before you do

- spiders use silk threads to dispers by wind, it is called ballooning
- pseudoscorpians hitch rides on insects
- New Zealand mud snail can survive guts of fish
(I thought also waterfowl but a quick search did not gave results)
- Snails are appearently great at ocean dispersal
(And not just by using the feet of waterfowl)
- Salties 'surf' the oceans to do dispers
- Monkeys once rafted from Africa to South America

Thread seemed more interesting in my head

I've always though so many oceanic animals having larval stages was an interesting way to disperse.
