Re: Tegenaria spider exhibiting strange behaviour (calling all spider experts!)

Ah I see you replied that same time as I did, which is why I didn't see them when I posted that reply .
Quick note - if you don't host your pictures on WAB your thread will be removed (it's not hard to do - just upload them to the archive either in 'forum images' or 'unidentified images')

They are egg sacs by the way - it's definitely a Tegenaria spp but you can't tell which species without microscopy.
Once they hatch it's easier to keep them together for a couple of months until only the larger ones are left (you can then set them free)
