After Peter crashes back down to Earth following his escape from Vulture, he gets tangled in some garden lights and lands next to two young girls who are camping out in their back garden, and are subsequently terrified by his malfunctioning eyes.

It's also worth noting that Spidey being covered in tennis ball-like garden lights is surely an intentional nod towards the art of motion capture, which often requires the use of tennis ball-like objects in order to track a human mo-cap performance and then later render CGI elements on top of it.

Considering that every Spider-Man movie to date has made extensive use of mo-cap technology, it's a playful tribute to the VFX wizards who give the web-slinger a spring in his step.
