We had very similar egg sacs confirmed by Kim as Ordgarius magnificus on Budawangs NM: https://budawangcoast.naturemapr.org/Sightings/4232127 The species is not on the ALCW list yet, and I'd add it, but the admin function seems to be on the blink currently. Apparently despite not building a web it should go under orb-weaving spiders. And BTW Lou, you appear to have put the sighting up twice. Can you try and delete the version without all the comments?
