egg sacs
Spiderling incubation chambers
Egg sacs are protective structures containing eggs, typically produced by spiders and other arachnids.
The female spins silk around her eggs to shield them from predators and the elements: The spider guarded her egg sac in the corner of the window frame.
Some species carry their egg sacs; others attach them to webs or surfaces.
The term also applies to similar structures in other invertebrates.
