What started out as an orderly morning orgy on the tip of a mustard leaf rapidly devolved into an epic fail as males continued to join the pile. The entire ball (at least two females in there) went over the edge, and for several seconds was held entirely by the legs of one male. After he let go, everyone dropped to the ground and a few extra-focused ones continued mating.

Harmochirus sp - nest and egg sac
These tiny jumping spiders are usually found on the ground amongst leaf litter.
As expected I found this mother Harmochirus jumping spider and her egg sac/nest on the ground amongst the grass. The egg sac was inside a curled dry Lantana leaf.
She was kind of anxious. Walking all over the egg sac and occasionally going inside the opening of the nest as well. Perhaps the egg sac is inside the nest here.
