Very nice and informative series. That is so cool she lays it like a sunny side up egg and folds it over into an omelette!
My H. georgicola's first sac ended up somewhere in the low 200's and I came home today to find her happily sporting sac # 2. The Rabidosa also has a 2nd sac on her, though the first one didnt hatch.

There is a BBC series available on DVD called "Life in the Undergrowth" which shows the same thing on video. It is on the "Silk Spinners" episode. The whole series is full of great invert footage.
