If it is similar to "Бабье лето" [Babyie leto] in Russian, it is quite literally 'Old Women' Summer'. Didn't know it has anything to do with spiders though.

- stewbrew 8y agoBTW in German, it's called exactly that: Altweibersommer (oldwomensummer).
- seszett 8y agoIn French it's quite different, the threads are called threads of the Virgin. People would say the Virgin is spinning thread. I haven't really noticed that phenomenon in years though now that I live in a city, I wonder if these expressions will just eventually disappear once too few people live in the countryside.
