Baby Bugs

I met the groundsman at the shop. We'd been invaded by red backed spiders. He'd show me when I got to the office. False alarm. The trusty zoom lens on my Nikon P600 proved them to be nothing more than a newly hatched clutch of bugs. That multitude of legs had just emerged from the tiny brown egg sac top right.
Such a sight. I had a similar event last summer. Great shot.

Should you go thump after this photo or are they good at catching flies? Great picture!

@maggiemae The groundsman did it for me and sprayed for red backs in spite of me.

It seems like they have 8 legs, yet 2 are probably antennae, which would make them insects.

Don't care if they are spiders or bugs, they put a shiver down my spine, and they are in a capture. Good though, now get rid of them.

@ladymagpie you can rest safely. They've gone.

Thank goodness they weren't spiderlings
