Nursery web spider - a photo on Flickriver

Nursery web spider

            In early spring you can often find Nursery web spiders stretched out on stems and leaves sunning themselves.  They wait for flies and other insects to pass by, and then use quick sprinting and strength to overpower them.
After mating, the female Nursery web spider lays her eggs into a silk cocoon which she carries around with her fangs.  Just before the eggs hatch, she spins a silk tent (nursery web) and releases her spiderlings inside it.  This tent offers them some protection for the first few days of their life.  After their first moult they leave the tent.  The female stays close to the tent until all the spiderlings have dispersed.
