I was in my loft a couple of weeks ago and spotted in a far corner that a few mysterious hanging bulb shaped objects. They were too far away to get a decent picture so I searched the net, but without knowing what they were I couldn't identify them.

Then this morning whilst watching a programme on the iplayer the camera shows one in a cave

At 14:27 what is it?

Thanks in advance

Any chance of a screen grab of the 'item' from iPlayer? I suspect iPlayer is blocked in most workplaces. (It is in mine..)

Looks like a spider egg sac to me



Not that I know anything about these things...

ETA - I didn't even know that iPlayer worked in my office...

Spiders would find your barn a tad breazy this time of year. In that respect, spiders are a bit like you and me. No, I frankly doubt there are any spiders in your barn, they will all be in your loft.

Ah st, need to get out conkering when I get back from hols. Can't stand the buggers in my house. No idea if it works but the proof is I didn't have a single one in my place last September/October.

That's because, scared by all the conkers, the spiders had to find a nice safe dark hole to hide in. Where better than the open mouth of Custard Test whilst he sleeps, the response to which is an involuntary chewing motion.

Bon appetit.
