<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>
