House Spiderlings 1

Image of Parasteatoda

Description:

Miniature spiders - the brown orbs in the background are the cocoons they hatched from. The cocoons are about half a centimeter in diameter - this gives you an idea how tiny the spiderlings are (half a millimeter according to what I've measured). They're just black dots in the webbing to the naked eye, so I find it interesting to see just how colorful they actually are with many of them having green and blue spots.
