This actually happened back in October, but I didn't think to look into the species until now.
My dogs had been chewing on this big ol' stick, so I went to confiscate it and toss it over the fence when I felt something soft and fuzzy on the other side of it. I flipped it over and it turned out that it was an egg sac that I'd "popped" by mistake. I still feel bad about this and just hope that I didn't end up screwing them over for winter.

Anyways, as you can see, there were little spiderlings all over the place. They kept were spinning silk and it looked like they were trying to catch the wind, although I don't know if it was just them trying to get on the ground or not. They looked to be okay for the most part, there were a lot of them but I did manage to get one by itself for a clearer picture of it:

Anyone know what they are?
