There is absolutely no need to do that. The egg case should be left
alone. I spotted many garden spiders in our gardens and we do
nothing.

Great, thats what I will do... I have placed the sac in a clear plastic
container.
with a screen vent in the bottom. Now to find a bush that will hold the
container,
do these spiders the young eat all winter? Will they feed off the egg
sac over winter or do they accually leave it and feed the return to the
sac?

The egg cases seem to overwinter just fine about a foot or so off the
ground attached to brush. Were they mine I might shelter them a bit
from rain.

Hello Folks, would anyone be interested in these spiders for there
gardens is there a place one could sell these spiders. I have read this
egg sac could have up to a thousand spiders in it. The
female recently died and these will hatch this fall, I would like to
find a new home for these spiders. How could I keep them in a state and
distribute them?
Please post any suggestions here
Thank You
