I found this small Wolf Spider carrying around her giant egg sack today. It's pretty surprising how strong she was, the weight she was carrying did not seem to slow her down at all. Photographed in Maryland.

Yesterday in my garage I came upon a female Redback spider in her chaotic and very sticky web, where she was guarding an egg sack. Around her were the emptied out exoskeletons of other spiders on whom she had dined.
Now let me tells you, the Redback is a species of highly venomous spider that is indigenous to Australia. It is a member of the cosmopolitan genus Latrodectus, the widow spiders. I tolerate them living in my yard, but draw the line when they venture indoors. First I got my camera, took her photo and then I destroyed her egg sack. Need I add that she no longer lives in my garage? The why and how of that I will leave to your imagination.
Male Redbacks, who are much smaller than the females, have a life span of about 6 months. They will often die right after they have mated. The male will likely be eaten by the female. If she doesn’t eat him he will naturally expire anyway. Females have a lifespan of about 3 years.
The females can store sperm for up to 2 years and need only mate once in their life. They may produce several egg sacks at a time, but my Redback had only the one. Still, that one egg sack would produce between 250 and 300 baby Redbacks. Quite enough spiders to take over my garage, hold me hostage and hijack my car.
Home from vacation, the first thing we do is clean and look over all of our beach finds. I found a sea star for the first time! The best things in life are free!

A couple of days ago I was walking through the field that is behind my house to go to the edge of the mesa. Right in the middle of our path (highly overgrown), was this huge spider. It has a little yellowish tint to the bottom part of its front side with the rest of the front being white, and a dull grey back of the head. The next day I woke up early, to try nd get a shot of it. I cleared some of the path and layed down in the sand. She was pretty close to the ground. It was fascinating watching her catch, and spinn her web around her prey. I have never seen a spider do that before, nevermind at macro closenes through a cemera. The web would fan for a quick capture and then shrink down to a thick thread for a secure tie. She actually ate it immidietly which i didnt expect. But I will spare you those gruesom pics.
Behind her to the left, might possibly be an egg sack.
I do not meen to be posting gross things, it is just the pictures i have had the oppertunity to come across...

A large wolf spider carrying her egg sack, hiding in a pileated woodpecker hole
*On the first attempt I screamed and scared her away. I had to come back later to get this.
We found this female Pisaura sp. (Arachnida) strolling with her egg sack over the boulder stones at Veczemju coastal cliffs (Latvia, 3 August 2017). Body ca. 15mm long. Quite a cooperative lady ;-)
Wide angle macro based on 19 images; assembled in Zerene Stacker (Dmap&Pmax), cropped. Sony A6500, Laowa 4.0/15mm macro; ISO-400, f/11 (approx.), 1/640s, natural light (slightly cloudy).
Fly Agaric, what we all think of when we think of fungi, the sort that a fairy or a gnome should be sat on, unfortunately they flew off before I could get the camera out :-).
In the past I would have taken this Praying Mantis egg sack home... but now I know they love to feast on Monarch butterflies and their caterpillars... I don't want them anywhere in my garden!
I 'dipped' on the frogs during this sitting. Beautiful weather but they just didn't want to come up to the surface. Perhaps the 'event' was truly over for this pond. Either way the Spawn itself was beautiful, especially backlit so you can see the detail on the eggs. Hard to believe that those bumpy blobs turn into a fully formed Frog!

The female American House Spider certainly won't win any awards for neatness. Her web is a mass of tangles and very effective in catching bugs. She's going to have a lot of babies, those are her egg sacks.

Wolf spider laying eggs and building the ootheca
Aranha lobo / aranha de grama pondo ovos e construindo a ooteca
A praying mantis egg sack, called an ootheca (ˌō-ə-ˈthē-kə)...found yesterday on a branch of the barberry bush in my garden. These sacks begin as soft foamy sacks & become very hard once the mother has laid her eggs inside...tiny praying mantes, or mantises, burst forth in the warm weather.

Eggs have hatched and little spiders are emerging.
I cropped the image and uploaded it full size so do zoom in for a closer look.
There were a lot of these Little Wolf Spiders with their egg sacks attached, sunbathing in the sun today. We had a slight rain shower first thing, then the sun came out, better than forecast, but it is now raining with a bit of thunder

Common Wolf Spider (Pardosa pullata)
There are dozens of these spiders living among the rocks and stones near a seat in our garden and they all scurry back into hiding if they detect any movement in the area.
I watched them for a while and noticed a stone that one always seemed to return to, so I set up the camera on a small tripod and waited with the remote control in hand ready to grab what were hopefully some in-focus shots.
I assume it is an egg sack at the back of this one?
Last night this Basilica Orbweaver added a forth egg sack then covered all of them with another layer of silk, now we wait. 7/28/2022
A female Green Lynx spider is watching over her egg sack and she'll stay and protect the babies until they disperse. Gaston County, NC, USA. Canon T6i. 9/26/2018
This is looking close at the rear end of a Green Lynx Spider (Peucetia, Oxyopidae) sitting on her egg case - showing the spider's spinnerets. I can only see four spinnerets, but apparently most spiders (other than Mygalomorphs) have six - four large ones and two small ones that are hard to see. If you look very close, maybe you can see that there are six strands of silk coming from the spider. I found several of these spiders in a growth of native Bird's Beak (Cordylanthus rigidus, Orobanchaceae). This photo is substantially cropped. I didn't mean to get this shot, but I wish I had gotten in closer. Happy Web Wednesday and HBBBT! (San Marcos Pass, 6 September 2017)
