Winged Spider-Spider with wings was discovered ??

Recently, photos went up with a spider having large wings, granting it the capability to fly. People with arachnophobia were probably the most affected. However, this is another hoax. There is no such thing as the Winged Spider. Its Wikipedia page was deleted after it was found to be false. A similar spider is the Yellow Winged Spider, which does not really have wings at all (just the design on its back), and cannot fly. Arachnids are not insects and thus cannot have wings. If it has wings, then it is an insect. Quote from Wikipedia:

 Monbiot spider is a vegetarian for socio-political motives, spins a sustainable number of low-carbon web and thoughts Gordon Brown can still turn it around by next June.

 Specialists have revealed that as an alternative of eating flies and having an appropriate job like everybody else, the creature organizes community outreach projects and converts floating seeds and vegetable matter into pungent, inedible casseroles.

Some people says it real --there is a type of winged spider, but it can't actually fly, it can only glide for short distances. It's called the Gliding spider, and is a member of the jumping-spider group. They can glide using wing flaps on their abdomen. They are found in the eastern parts of Australia (Queensland, New South Wales).
