| Now that the supporting
walls are sturdy enough the (??) Wespenspinne lines the brown bowl with silk
of bright white colour.
As the other parts, the lining differs in colour and qualities from the light base and the brown
cylinder.
After a break the spider produces a lump
of bright yellow eggs. It balances the lump on her belly and
eventually places it into the elaborate cup.
By the exhaustive weaving and egg laying
the female gives away a lot of her body substance, which is why her hind
part shrinks considerably.
