Hello everyone, just spotted this in my patio raspberries and there's a few of them,.a spider egg sack. Just wondered if it will affect my plant. Should I leave it be, or re locate it? I like to keep everything as natural as possible so don't use pesticides but this plant is special to me. Any advice gratefully received. Thanks 🙂

    Leave it be. Mummy spider is guarding it. One day, the sac will open and hundreds of baby spiders will abseil down their little web ropes and sail off to a new life. 😁

    If you want to bid her good morning just say “Good morning Mrs Enoplognantha, how are you and your fine brood today?”

    Thank you, happy to leave them alone in the knowledge it won't munch it's way through my plant. 🙂
