<p>The winter suddenly set in here and it was pretty warm before. We walked through the snow in a central European forest and I realized a lot of "black dots" (dozens of them) as a contrast to the white. It turned out that these were little spiders - dead little spiders.</p> <p>I saw one rappel down from a branch (quite slow; like exhausted). It died as soon as it reached the floor (so, the snow).</p> <p>What happened there? Were they just hatched little spiders frozen to death cause of the sudden cold? </p> <p><hr></p> <p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/hJftU.jpg" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/hJftU.jpg" alt="Spider in the snow"></a></p>
