Do you know what spider this is? I posted a photo of a similar egg case earlier this month. It is on a small eucalypt tree. A second egg case appeared a few days later and when I went back this weekend, there are now four egg cases. I haven't seen any sign of spiderlings.

I have no idea. It would require a fairly large spider to make my one. I would like to know too if you are able to follow up what you have seen.
