Since I saw the fishing spider with its egg sac, I've been looking for nursery webs (that they create to protect their babies). Today I found this one:

At the lower right is the remains of the egg sac.
Usually I've found them in more sheltered protected spots, but this one was quite out in the open.
It might have been from this spider with its egg sac that I photographed nearby about a week before.

I wonder how many of those tiny spiders will survive to grow as big as their momma.
