Cross Orb Weaver Spiderlings

These little guys are probably hours to a day or two out of the egg. They'll disperse and start weaving their own webs soon.

I believe they are random distributed by wind, whilst they hang on to a small thread. Wherever they end up, they likely spend the rest of their life there. Posted 10 years ago, modified 10 years ago

  I'd bet on it. Walking through the woods, especially at this time of the year I walk through a thousand little spider lines- not webs proper, but the lines they use to fly with. Posted 10 years ago

    I forgot the most important part: airline pilots have actually seen them, or so the legend goes. Posted 10 years ago
