Spiderlings

Spiderlings are baby spiders that, while threatening, are not as difficult to kill as their fully-grown counterparts.

Once the spiderlings hatch, the family will stick together for a few more days until the babies suddenly decide to wander off and start to hunt.

The spiders raised in the warmer temperatures were underweight, compared to their chilled-out brethren, and they were more prone to cannibalizing their fellow spiderlings.

It is not clear how spiderlings manage to eat pollen however, since their mouths are not large enough to consume pollen grains.
