Female redback spider in the nest showing off her red back. The nest contains a few hundred eggs and is about 12 mm (1/2) in diameter. Female redback spider smiling to the camera, ready to protect her nest.
Good news: this is not too common. Spiders will lay between 2 and 1000 eggs, depending on the species. Almost all female spiders protect their eggs by making a silk âbedâ and then covering them with a silk âblanketâ. She then wraps them in more silk to make the egg sac. She hangs the sac someplace safe and guards it until the babies hatch.
