I found this silky cocoon-like structure stuck to a leaf of grass. I don't think it's a cocoon, possibly a spider nest?

        Lol. The egg sacs for this family are pretty characteristic in that they look like upside-down wine glasses. So, once you know that, it's fairly easy to recognize ;). Posted 3 years ago
