Message: <blockquote data-quote="Enn49" data-source="post: 105060" data-attributes="member: 3458">I've just found this on Arachnos.eu:-During their active life from March to September females lay up to four broods with the total of about 400 eggs. The maximum production counted during studies of the species was 715 (Edwards 1980). The number of eggs in each following brood progressively decreases. The jumping spiders build their own silk nests, which have an elliptic structure and have emergency exits on each side. They use these shelters not only to rest, where they hide after dusk, but they go through their exuvial stages and raise their offspring here as well.</blockquote>
