baby spiders

We keep finding these huge clusters of the cutest wee baby spiders... soooo many! So far we have found three and a half around our house. I say " a half" because one group keeps splitting and regrouping... hmmm....

Kids are thrilled of course and keep checking on them. With the recent rain they wanted to "save" them, but it all turned out okay. The babes pictured here have "moved on" already. Likely to my neighbour who does not like spiders.

We think they are orb spiders, but hard to see.

In my life, I have never come across this sight. Quite the treat!
