Usually, the sider carries the sack around, like a nice mom she is... sometimes, the sack sticks on a web, and, when it opens, all the babies stay a while on it. 2) I think it is the most likely here: few species live in societies, why they do that, I ignore but it certainly is amazing. there is no queen there, all are equal, I remember a documentary where spiders were moving alltogether in a certain rhythm so that they could detect when a prey was caught in the web, disrupting the harmonic movement. Any way, these types of spiders are good for the garden, they eat other bugs that cause problems. Hi,

Any way, these types of spiders are good for the garden, they eat other bugs that cause problems.

We've got those (again) this year. They don't really get bigger than a 5p unless they're pregnant, so don't worry if they hang around. Lovely – all together!

It's just we had some monster spiders here by the end of the summer and I don't fancy the thought of 1000s of huge spiders roaming around my herbaceous borders! did they stick around in your garden all summer?

I had some in my garden last year and they remained together or a few days before heading out on their own (or getting eaten by something I didn't spot!). I guess it’s a safety-in-numbers thing.
