How I wish that I had discovered this amazing spider nest sooner!
It is slightly bigger than a golf ball and hangs on a single thread.
I put the green leaf behind it to block out the brick wall and also to stop it from swaying in the wind.
The hundreds of exoskeletons show that the babies moulted at least once before leaving the nest.
What a site this must have been..... it breaks my spider-loving heart to have missed it!
