Perhaps you recall the majestic Larinioides I found at Pomme de Terre park almost two weeks ago? It laid a large pink egg sac in the container we had it in, as a present before we released it back into the wild.
Today, or perhaps last night, they started hatching. Here’s a baby Larinioides spiderling, freshly emerged, and looking a bit stunned.
They’re back in the incubator until I see that a few more hatch out, and then they’ll be released to the world.

Is it time to start worrying, or do we wait until PZ starts to knit incredibly tiny outfits for the baby spiders?
