If like me you occasionally flip over rocks and such to see what might be lurking beneath, then you’ve no doubt seen things like this:
I’m pretty sure this is the egg sac of some sort of spider. It was underneath a small rotting log.
I usually just carefully put things back the way I found them. Curiousity got the better of me this time. I peeled away the egg sac and carefully opened it. If you’ve ever wondered what’s inside, here’s the answer.
Each one of those eggs are less than a millimeter in diameter. There were probably ten or so.
I put the egg sac back where I found it. With the eggs now exposed though, the’ll probably end up being eaten by something.
