Seen in NW Missouri in October a few years ago. I'm sure it's a flying spider. But are the images of sufficient quality to determine which one?

If I recall, they were tiny little guys. I say they, because there were several of them on this park bench. If I had to guess, less than a 1/2 inch.

Look up ballooning spiders. I don't know if it is common to babies of many species.
Plant it and they will come.
