Yellow Spiderlings on Garlic Mustard Plant

Yellow Spiderlings on Garlic Mustard Plant
Tracys Landing, Anne Arundel County, Maryland, USA
April 27, 2017
Size: tiny
I was pulling up invasive garlic mustard plants when I noticed a yellow cluster of creatures. I thought they looked like the aphids that frequently cluster on milkweed plants. When I looked a little closer and touched the plant it was like a spiderling explosion. I will post 2 more pictures. One of them with the plant and one is the best closeup of a single spiderling that I could get. They look similar to a picture of Theridion spiderlings in one of my guide books but these are yellow.
