Out in my garden/pots, I find these u-shaped eggsacs (dirty white color) with flat tops attached to plants. This spring, there are tiny spiderlings coming out of them, but what are they? Such distinctive sacs, I thought if I threw it out there, someone might know. Argiopes have the brown round sacs. Widows: round. What about Misumena? We have those around here. (California - coastal, near Santa Cruz.)
I am trying to raise some of the spiderlings, but they aren't going for the dead wispy bugs I've thrown in so far. I have quite a few in the cup, saran wrap on top, tiny holes punched, so that they could cannibalize each other if I can't find acceptable food for them in time...Any hints here for raising at least one successfully?
Thanks for any pointers, even if just to a good resource. What is Foelix? (I saw that mentioned in some other threads.)
