Does anyone know anything about Spiders? I have a small garden bin that I use to tidy the yard and I noticed last week a spider had her eggs secured under the lid. She spent all her time guarding them.Then a storm blew the bin across the yard and she disappeared.
Now I can't stop worrying about whether the babies will hatch and thrive without her.

I think they will once they’re in the cocoon nest, that’s if those round my windows are anything to go by.
When they hatch they soon run off even if they’re tiny.
Disclaimer I know very little about spiders!

I think the same J52 and those cocoons are hard to dislodge so they will be ok.
Not that I like spiders mind you, but if they stay outside then I don’t bother them.
