    If your little friends legs are latrograde as in the phot link, these would be crab spiders of sort,or if retrograde, they may be a ground spider or sac spider of sort.

    To be certain, I would simply have to see the spiderlings, and even then, young spiders are difficult to identify.

    The best I can say, is these would be harmless spiders, and nothing to worry about.

    Very soon, the spiders will leave, or without enough food for them, will kill each other to survive. Very few if any will remain, just give it a couple or few days.

    If you could possibly post a decent photo, and give your location, I could be more certain of the family.
