These Spiderlings were found on the ground at Frozen Head. Baby spiders don't make good brothers and sisters, they have a tendency to eat their siblings! Many spiderlings will climb to the edge of a branch and spin silk to be carried away by a breeze, this mode of "transportation" is called ballooning.

This picture was taken with 2 and 4 diopter attachments on my wide angle lens, so the depth of field is extremely narrow! The spider was running around on a picnic table while we were eating lunch at Haw Ridge. I never pass up a good photographic moment if I don't have to!
