This was in the web with the house spider. She has hundreds of tiny babies sitting in a little cloud of spiderness.

They're like the size of a pin head. Eventually, they'll all "fly" away on a piece of thread.
I've seen instances where large clouds of spiderlings have congregated over large areas.

That could be intimidating. :P

That's the egg sac. Spiders lay eggs in a sac (the sac shape, size, and color varies by species).
When I first saw this spider, only the sac was there. I came back the next day and they had hatched. Those pics didn't come out, but they were still there the third day.
I think there might still be some there now. I'll have to check tomorrow.
