I finally am getting my old picture on here. The original egg sac disappeared in a storm, but she (or another of the same species) made another egg sac a couple of weeks ago. Today, I just noticed tiny spiders are beginning to emerge from it. Not the explosion of spiders that I was expecting.

I was reading about another type of spider that stops eating after making her egg sac, and dies soon after they "hatch". Is that the right term for spiders? Well, my House Spider has been eating and did again early today.

There have been males and other females that come and go, but this one has stayed around.
