    Whoops, I would have been tempted to shout "genus Ero" at first sight, which isn't even in the same family (Mimetidae as opposed to Theridiosomatidae), which shows me I'd best keep quiet about spiders :o) Posted 5 years ago

      Oh, wow - interesting! I hadn't heard of that genus before, but their egg cases are certainly very similar! I was only able to ID this with the help of a book and someone else's genius (Charley Eiseman). On my own, I'm not even sure if I would have realized that this was a spider's egg sac, hehe.
