So, today I noticed a brown widow living near my front door, and I took some pictures of it for my "collection". After that I noticed some green balls near it, I'm still kinda new to spiders and stuff so I thought they might be eggs. After some research I found out they look nothing like a brown widow's egg sacs, can someone tell me if these are some bug's eggs?(I'm from Brazil by the way, if that is of any help) drive.google.com/file/d/1InzfBKv9zYXHNyR2kgwdI6_j0UbCozfp/view?usp=drivesdk |

The photos need to be publicly accessible in order for other people to see them.

Hard to tell, but those look like moth eggs to me.

We're assuming the spider web is close to a porch light apparently. Those are not spider eggs.
Spiders eat things that move.
There is no way a spider would see those eggs as prey.

There is no way a spider would see those eggs as prey. it's at ground level, near the main entrance, there's not much light. The spider is no longer here, only a smaller one(I suppose a male), but the egg like things are still stuck in the web |

Greetings, This is total conjecture, but possibly a moth was trapped in the web at some point, and in struggling, released some eggs? Maybe the moth was able to free itself, or maybe it became a meal, or maybe I'm just delusional and making things up?!  Cheers! Bandrow |

Bandrow it's most likely what happened lol, I am still confused about what that could be. The spider is back and is fine, so that's what really matters for me |

Must be fun to watch the spider. I used to watch a mud dauber build her nest. She was such a busy mom. She built it and sealed it before flying away. Many days later even as I waited to see the young one fly out, I read up about them. That mom had stung spiders(not dead, just immobile) and left them inside along with her egg. As the mud dauber hatched, it ate the spiders as it molted multiple times! It was the most interesting insect watching I have ever done until the mom left, for ater that I just saw the hole where the young one broke out of the nest to start its own life!

They haven't hatched yet, but it's winter in here so it'll take some time. She might've been a Vates Phoenix from what I've seen, which is good because they're kinda rare |
