My pet Redback Spider Barbie has in a few weeks made 4 spider egg sacs. It's time to remove the egg sacs and find a environmental purpose for them in the garden. I notice a crazy black ants being very active at a nearby ant nest. Many people tell me ants will swarm a food source and quickly take it into the ant nest. Well lets see what happens when I present 4 opened Redback spider egg sacs to the very active and excited ants. This video was made just before the 2020 Australian March Equinox, that can be seen as a real indicator that winter is coming. I do come back to see Barbie 10 days after removing her egg sacs and there is egg sac 5. Maybe the real bonus was finding a stunning Praying Mantis near Barbie's spider home. But remember here is a Redback Spider that was very small at Jan 20 and by late March she has laid 5 spider egg sacs.
