Golden Silk Orbweaver Spiderlings - Trichonephila clavipes
Summerville, Dorchester County, South Carolina, USA
May 6, 2014
Size: 1-2 mm
This brood of Nephila clavipes emerged on May 4. Today, I went outside with my camera and tripod to get some better photos of them before they dispersed. The wind was not cooperating, but I did manage to get some good shots of the spiderlings.
