Thanks, that’s a huge web! Her eggs will look like yellow fuzz. Some species create distracting objects in their webs, sculpted from silk and debris and dead bugs. I don’t know if this species does this. She might have left-over food wrapped up to eat later. The silk works like plastic wrap, it helps keep prey fresh.
