I know jumping spiders don’t build nests but it was the best description I could come up with.

I was cleaning out my bird feeder and saw a bunch of seeds stuck to a corner with some spider webs. I wiped it out with some toilet paper and a jumping spider emerged and a bunch of orange eggs were stuck to the paper.

I have the spider in a jar now and the eggs are still stuck to the paper. Some seem destroyed and some seem OK.

What should I do?

I would release the spider; the eggs won't survive, but maybe she can make another sac.

Looks like either the eggs are squished or the spider ate her eggs before hand. Don't worry, she'll make more~ LOTS more
