Pisaurina mira is a species of spider in the family Pisauridae, the members of which are commonly called, nursery web spiders They are similar to wolf spiders and to the long-legged water spiders.
Like other members of the Pisauridae, Pisaurina mira carries its eggs along with it in a sac that is secured both by a thread of silk linking it to the spider's spinnerets and by being held by the spider's chelicerae. When the eggs are nearly ready to hatch the mother will build a nursery web within which the egg sac is then hung. After they hatch, and until they undergo their first molt, the infant spiders will inhabit the rather large volume enclosed by this nursery web. The mother spider will station herself nearby in order to defend the nursery. (EOL)
I did not see what was curled up in the leaf she is sitting on, but I suspect she is defending an egg sac attached inside.
Made by a Nursery Web spider. If you view Large you can see the newly hatched spiderlings inside. For Web Wednesdays group www.flickr.com/groups/webwednesdays HWW!

I spotted this at the barn today and thought my lens would love it!
I added it to cliche saturday because webs seem a little cliche so - HCS!!
Morning a bit foggy so thought I would have a lazy day. Saw this looking out the window and the spiders web really caught my eye. I have been inspired by a few people doing these lately so I thought I would give it a go.

I went to Beaver Park this morning quite early, before 8 and it was very foggy and damp out and just as I stepped out of my car I saw a huge spider web draped in dew!!! In the comment section is the whole web and more jewel shots!
Why are interesting subjects always in such difficult positions? Crouched in an awkward position for too long and handholding as well as breath holding meant it wasn't easy to get a stable image!
Ah, I love my new couch quilt! I should have made it one row longer....

Anyone who has seen my stream probably knows I can't help myself when encountering water droplets.... :o)
Morning dew in a particularly nice spider web.
Not had much opportunity of late to get my camera out as Christmas has taken over and children have been poorly. However when I spotted this frosty web outside my house this morning I couldn't resist the opportunity!
