Reminds me of Charlets Web!! :) lol

It's funny that you used that spelling of Charlet. That is how we spell our daughters name. It is a French sir name and not used very often at all. She's my nature lover and will love these pics.

Hope your daughter enjoys them


Each day they get a little more brave, today they are catching the wind while hanging from the webs

Update so all the baby spiders have hatched and they are gone. Well,,,,, last night when I went to check on her she was making another egg sac. I watched her build the egg sac she started at the bottom and worked her way up. She left a hole in the top to deposit the eggs and then she took a break. By the time I came to check on her again she had the egg sac filled with eggs and sealed up. I do have a few pics of this but for some reason I havent been able to upload pics to any thread. When I figure out the problem I will post pics

That's amazing. I guess I watch too many cartoons. I thought they die after they laid the eggs.

I was wondering the same thing myself, the second egg sac is about half the size of the first. She hasnt been eating and not as active, I will let you know how things turn out

Maybe you've said this already and I missed it...but have you been feeding her or is it just catch-as-catch-can?

I feed her sometimes, but not very often. She catches all kinds of stuff on her own, I really like it when she catches wasps

Finally able to post pics again so here is a pic of the second egg sac. The sac on the top is the old one the are all gone in my yard somewhere. This is a pic of her making the sac and if you look close you can see she is not finished yet and has a hole in the top. I was trying to see her deposit the eggs but she took a break after making the sac. When I came back eggs were deposited and sac closed
