Baaaaaby animals

[urbpan]

Hey look at all the new babies that appeared by our compost bin! I don't know what kind they are, but Alexis suggested that they might be cross orbweavers, which seems likely. In the spring last year we found a similar baby spider explosion, and there were a lot of cross orbweavers around.



Bugguide seems to agree that these are orb weavers of some kind. I guess we'll see if the fullness of summer brings us big beautiful spiders!
