Thousands of Spider Babies

Today I was looking at some things that I had stored down in our barn. The barn is more of a storage shed than an actual barn. It has been converted into a sealed off barn that keeps most varmints out however it isn't climate controlled or sealed off from small pests such as bugs and spiders. It came as no surprise when I stumbled across an intricate nest of wolf spider babies. It wasn't so much a web as it was a webby crib of sorts. There were hundreds of strands with hundreds of spider babies just moving around. It was really interesting because the small spiders were almost motionless, however when you breathed or blew on them, they would almost move as if they were a live curtain. It was really kind of creepy but interesting if you could get past the sensation of having them crawl over you. Below is a video I shot of the little wolf spiders.
