I have no idea what kind of species would create this kind of nest. I'm assuming it's relatively common because it was located between a gutter and the wall of a house but I wasn't able to find any similar images online.

Hi, welcome to Spider ID. 🙂 This is the egg sac of a Black and Yellow Argiope, Argiope aurantia.
Thanks, ItsyBitsy! I’ve seen that species before but never their egg sacs. I really enjoy the site so I’m sure this won’t be my last post here. Cheers!
