Jumping spider nest

This delicate silken nest was strung between two milkweed leaves. Inside were many tiny jumping spider babies. You can imagine how small they were (like specks of pepper), because jumping spider adults are tiny! When I touched the nest, not knowing if anything was still in there, about 6 crawled and jumped out, and then retreated back inside. Very cool!
