We study the number of short geodesics and small eigenvalues on Weil-Petersson random genus zero hyperbolic surfaces with $n$ cusps in the regime $n\to\infty$. Inspired by work of Mirzakhani and Petri \cite{Mi.Pe19}, we show that the random multi-set of lengths of closed geodesics converges, after a suitable rescaling, to a Poisson point process with explicit intensity. As a consequence, we show that the Weil-Petersson probability that a hyperbolic punctured sphere with $n$ cusps has at least $k=o(n)$ arbitrarily small eigenvalues tends to $1$ as $n\to\infty$.
