We caught Charlotte racing across our living room floor about 2 weeks. My oldest son (7 yrs old) was doing a book report for school on orbweavers. I caught Charlotte and we have been keeping her in a quart sized Mason jar, but today she created an egg sack. I have tried finding information on exactly what type of spider she is, but I have been unable to find her. I would also appreciate any information about gestation periods for egg sacks.
