I thought the little haystack cocoons were pupae of stinging nettle caterpillars, they hatch into a dusty tan kind of hump-backed moth. Now, I have no idea where I got that idea, if someone told me or I read it somewhere??? Looked for a photo online with no luck. The spider eggs I'm familiar with here in HPP are the flat fluorescent green ones the crab spiders spin, lots and lots of those.

OK, have been wondering this for a few years & in the summers usually do a half hearted web search attempt to find out....
But this year we have a bumper crop of little ~0.5 in pinecone looking things that I suspect are spider egg cases decorating all of our eves & window ledges....
Does any one know what the heck they are & who (species) they belong to ....
probably will still just sweep them away... but I kinda want to know what they are....

I don't know how I got over the hill without getting to the top.
