I found a particularly large looking Daddy long Legs Spider on the shed ceiling, and the camera showed why; she was packed full of eggs:

This was a single shot taken at around 2X magnification.
A few days later I checked in on her and she was in the same spot but now carrying round a bundle of eggs:

A short stack of 4 images
I also found a male lurking around and had been nearby for a few days, so I'll assume this was the father:

Stack of 7 images at around 2-3X magnification
There's more on my Flickr stream including some side on shots if you want to read more. I'm unlikely to be around when they hatch but I hope I'll be abl to capture some of the spiderlings. Apparently they will hatch in about 4 weeks time, conditions permitting.
