Araneus diadematus
This is a group of newly hatched European Garden Spider. The mother puts the eggs in a small cocon, which looks like a little web. After hatching, the spiderlings stay together for a short time in a small web they produce themselves.

Thank you @Smith Zoo
Precious find! Well done!
I saw two similar spottings of these spiders last weekend. It's amazing to see something in nature and then come to Project Noah and see many of the same spottings in different parts of the world.
Cool! Thanks for the explanation, too.
