Anyone know what this is?

There are two of these hanging in my cestrum bush. Can you tell me what they are?
Thanks Cindy

THAT is an egg sack that belonged to a mama Argiope garden spider. (at least that's what they look like in my yard)

thank you very much ,
Cindy

Wow, that is one funky looking contraption!

a very good spider to have.. They love aphids.

We throw milkweed bugs to ours! :) It's cool to watch her wrap them up! It's entertaining and gives me an outlet for my hatred of those bugs! lol

I think she has a little moth in this pic that she caught on her own tho.

Yep, that's what it is.

I wrote an article about them last fall. Here's the link.

Thank you all I had no idea what it was. Most spiders don't have a eggsack that size.
Melody I will go read your article. Cindy


Melody isn't that a coincidence that your spiders are all named Cindy LOL.
