Bundles of tiny yellow spiders with a black spot on their butt

I saw hundreds of these baby yellow spiders on my shed this morning. When I opened the door
they exploded down the front of the shed door. They looked like little spider comandos repelling
down a wall.
My guess, there were 400 or 500 of them. they were about this size *



Quoted Text
"Towards high summer and the beginning of autumn, small egg-sized clumps of tiny
spiders can be found on webs in the garden and. If disturbed these erupt into a cascading
mass of tiny yellow spiders with a black spot on the rear end. These are quite harmless baby
Garden Spiders.
In late summer or early autumn many spiders mature mate and produce eggs. The common
Garden Spider (Araneus diadematus) lays from three to eight hundred yellow eggs that she
cements together and covers in a dense layer of coarse protective yellow silk and detritus.
When spring comes the following year, bundles of tiny yellow spiderlings with a black spot
on their rear end can be found. If disturbed, the bundle of babies will 'explode', with individual
spiderlings dispersing away from each other on tiny silken safety lines. Once the danger
has passed they climb back up the web and form a clump again. Before emerging from their
egg sac, the spiderlings molted once. Once emerged, they remain together until they have
molted yet again and grown big enough to be independent."


The adult:


Garden spiders or Corn spiders.
