Turns out, the white strands are gossamer. Its woven by orb spiders, and they leave their eggs in it. The web floats off, taking the baby spideys with it for dispersal upon landing. Great, so now we have flying baby spider balls drifting over our heads.
(Don't worry, I think the baby spiders actually leave the webs in early summer. These ones are just the leftovers. But still.)
Nap time now.
