Beautiful!!
I myself am a lover of agriopes, I want one as a pet... if I can.
These spiderlings are absolutely adorable! But one question always comes back to me... near the end of fall, after they hatch, they get back inside the egg sac to protect themselves from winter... how do they all fit?

Very fun shot!
Combined with your previous (below), this is really lovely. How long apart were they taken?

Spiderlings
Thanks Hannah. The pictures were taken maybe half an hour apart if memory serves me right. They were on my screen door at the front of my house, and by the time I'd gotten around the house taking photos they'd changed postion. I have hundreds of adults in the garden this summer. I love them!
