    This spider was very fat yesterday. This morning was very skinny. Were do they lay their eggs? And what do they look like?

    They will usually hang the egg sack somewhere close to the web. The one I had in my back yard in 2007 had made her web hanging across two of the tallest Canna's and I found the egg sacks hanging from other Canna leaves in late fall.

    Here are photos of the egg sacks in my yard that year.
