Revisiting the black and yellow garden spider who decided my garden was perfect for a summer home, I discovered the egg sack the other day after I cut down some spent flowers. Okay, so what do I do with it? Obviously she had no idea her work would eventually be exposed to the elements. Not really wanting to destroy it, I laid it on the ground, but unfortunately(??) I don't think it will survive, especially after getting soaked in yesterday's rain.It's rather large in size - maybe slightly smaller than a ping pong ball - but then she was a big spider. I remember reading it would produce thousands of spiderettes...I can see why.
