Earlier this month, I was out in our gardens in the back yard, and what should I spot? These brand new little spiderlings about to float away and embark on their new life. I'm pretty sure they are an orbweaver species, but I don't know what one. The evening was extra breezy, like so many days we've had so far this spring. So fun to watch everyone scramble around and get ready for their ballooning take off. That's how spiders disperse – they send out a little fan of silk to catch the wind and whisk away.
