Hundreds of Red Spiders in Individual Webs I live in the USA in south Louisiana. I woke up this morning to find my yard covered in hundreds of spider webs. ![enter image description here]( Each of those little white puffs is a spider web. Inside of each web is one little red spider. ![enter image description here]( The spiders are pretty small. Less than half an inch long.![enter image description here]( Anyone know what they are?

It is a black-tailed red sheetweaver, _Florinda coccinea_.

Identified by its red body colour , location (USA) and black caudal tubercle.
