Communal mass bush spider

[CRX]

I live in central KY on a hill and for long as I lived here the bushes out front our house are populated by tiny spiders that fill them with webs. I recently (yesterday) got a good look at them in the morning, and they are tinyyyy. They appear to share these webs, I saw 8-10 individuals all within steps of each other and appear to prey on the gnats and moths that frequent the nearby porch lights. I don't think they were juveniles, the same was seen in other bushes once I knew what to look for.

Does anyone know what species this is?

How many tiny spiders are in your bush?

I would say hundreds probably, we have extensive bushes.

I think this might be it. They colonize every single bush in our yard.

Pictures would help a lot for sure to give us a visual.
