I cannot for the life of me figure this one out, can anyone help?

I found a video of the same spiders without any description.


I also have my own recent photo

Thanks if you can help!

A spider "swarm" like that is generally just a bunch of newly hatched baby spiders. An egg sac can contain dozens or even hundreds of spiderlings, and they all hatch out pretty much at the same time, giving the appearance of a swarm. Within a short while, though, they will disperse.

There are a few quasi-social spiders that may share webs or live in groups, and even a few that make huge shared webs, containing hundreds or thousands of spiders that will work together to bring down prey, but they are not terribly common.
