These spiders (technically known as “araneiforms”) are endlessly fascinating to look at, so we’ve made these part of a seasonal series to study fan development over time. The fans are the dark material that often accompany the formations, which is typically caused by the sublimation of buried ice. Wind later blows the material about. Many of them will fade over time.
