By the garden gate today I noticed a conglomerate of baby spiders, probably hundreds of them, all just hatched and resting in one small web. Â Their most distinctive feature is serrated black markings on their bottoms, with an otherwise pale yellow and brown body. Â They look similar to European Garden Spiders. Â Here is the web from afar, the whole thing is probably no more than 4 inches across at any one point. Â That’s a raspberry leaf in the background for reference.
Upon closer examination,
They moved a little when the gate was opened, some dropping down in typical spidery-fashion, but most stayed fixed in the web.
