All Spiderlings hatched (Steatoda triangulosa)

Day 14: ALL spiderlings hatched! - still blind and helpless, they stay together in the cocoon - However: most of the time at least one is moving (sometimes all at the same time!), giving me a hard time to make a reasonable stack (510 single shots). In this backlight illumination szenario you get the idea about the "depth" the cocoon

 

Story to be continued!

 

Mother with cocoon is here

 

Eggs before hatching can be seen here.
