Picture of the Week – Busy Bugs




Busy Bugs

Originally uploaded by idarknight

Well, I’ve seen spider egg sacs before, I’ve seen baby spiders before, but I’ve never seen a… well ball of baby spiders like this before. It reminded me very much of Charlotte’s Web. They were moving as a flock. At one point, they had been washed down from where they are in this image and then they worked together to get back to their original site. Quite amazing I must say. I was hoping to get some more angles (I also wanted to get a more dispersed shot that I could have got each time a small breeze caused the critters to scatter), but since I was doing some construction at the time, I had to move quick and get back to the hammering and torquing of the the various bits that were being put together. Karma wise, I’m hoping the new start for these little critters reflects the new start that I am looking into over the next few weeks.
