David,
Wow, I've never seen anything like that!
So many spiders, and especially little ones!
Personally, I don't like this type of spiders. In my childhood we didn't
even considered them as spiders.
(In the US they are called "Daddy longlegs", and I saw a reference but
have never heard from anybody personally, "harvestmen/harvesters".
The latter is interesting, because in Russia they are called very
similarly (if translated), "hay-scyther" or "scythe-legs")
I prefer what I would call more "traditional" spiders, with shorter legs,
especially those that make nice looking webs in the forest [*] (as long
as it is not in my face ;-) ).
Or, house ones, like this:

My favorite so far, is this UFO (I posted it here some 2.5 years ago):

[*] You might call it a "bush", what we call a "forest" here.
At least that's how it is in Australia. :-)
Cheers,
Igor

Arachnophobes, avert your eyes :)
We found a spider with her little hatchlings on our kitchen ceiling today.
This is the first time I've used my DSLR since last April, and I don't
know how
long it'd been since I last used a tripod.
