I noticed this ball of spiders on my back porch and when I blew on them a little they spread out for me. No idea what kind of spider it is.

Amazing... and only a little bit creepy :P
Great spot! You should add this to the Animal Architecture mission too - http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/8082...
Great pics
great picture!
Wow...love this shot!
I am fascinated by this photo! I have a love/hate relationship with spiders. My rule is you need to be outside and I am a fan...in my house, not so much.
This creeps me out!
Super spotting. What a great find!
cool!
Wonderful pictures! Really lovely!
Funny that I have always loved this photo and used it as my screen shot but it creeped my kids out and they all thought I was strange. It is so refreshing to find people who love photos like this.
I agree, baby orb weavers. Not sure what species though. Very very cool shots!!!! Favorite for certain!!!
Wow! What a great shot. I've had droves of baby wolf spiders on my back wall but never seen any clusters like this or any so vivid. I think Edward may be right... they do look like Orb Weavers. :)
AWESOME! AWESOME! AWESOME!
I think they are baby Orb Weavers. I get 5 or 6 clusters in my yard a year and my predominant spiders (off the patio) are the Orb Weavers.
