Hatchlings!

Stratford, TX(Zone 6b)

Went out to check on my repotted plants and found these poor little guys trying to survive on a piece of broken web that was flying around in the gale force winds...and had little "floater spider babies" that were flying all over the place! Apart from the whole creepy "tons of spiders in my hair" part, it was pretty cool! These are on an un-ID'd Echeveria bloom. I think I still have the pot it came in, and I am usually better about keeping up with those until I get them documented in here, but I can't seem to find it. It's a gorgeous Echeveria, and the blooms are great.

Can anyone figure out what kind of spiders they are? They were all spinning webs, so they are a web-building spider, not a ground spider.

I am in Stratford, Texas, Zone 6, and these were taken yesterday, May 10th.

Thanks, Angie

Ah, that's better. Don't know why it wasn't saving the posts/pics. Last one. If spiders can be cute, these little guys were!

What great pictures! They look like little, shiny beads on a necklace. How very cool!
