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?

No idea, but the second one looks like a ballerina. Needs a tutu!

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.

See you in the funny papers!

Look up ballooning spiders. I don't know if it is common to babies of many species.

Plant it and they will come.
