User's notes

These spiderlings are believed to be the progeny of the orb spider logged at sighting 4654481, which was based in the very immediate vicinity, and whose webbing appeared connected with the strands these spiderlings were on. (The orb spider at 4654481 died about a week after they appeared). Photo 5 provides some context, the webbing seen in it links to the roof above on which the adult orb was living.
