Baby Spiderlings

This is the first time I have ever seen baby spiders. I think they're really cute and my dad saw the Mom spider on the lawnmower when he was getting it out. He put it in a jar so I could see it. Then a few days later the spider made an egg sack in the jar. We fed the spider a cricket. She came down and grabbed it and pulled it back and wrapped it in silk then ate it. It was pretty cool.
This morning I saw the baby spiders in the jar. They were so small they looked like mites. They were in a clump until we put the jar lid outside. I also saw three of the spiderlings ballooning. That's where they fly away on a string of silk. So I am leaving the jar lid out side, so they can, so they can, balloon away.
