Hi All
I spider has been hatching small black winged babies under a fan in my daughters bdroom after the fan had been stored in the garage.The spider appeared to be a greyish colour about 1cm length and the babies fly to the window to get out.A bit annnoying considering the amount of babies but what are these spiders and should mum be in the garden????

Thanks

No spider has wings, at any stage of its life cycle. Either what you saw was not a spider, or the babies were not. Spiders can ballon on strands of silk, but in that case they would go wherever the air currents took them. Any chance of a photo?

Thats what I thought,makes me seem dim and maybe spidey being there is pure coincidence.....I will try and get a piccie of the little critters rather than spidey because spiders are not a problem for mebut these tiny little black insects with wings are..
Thanks, narrows the problem down slightly.
