shameless selfbump

I guess you could just take them to your garden, if it contains a meadow, which is their chosen habitat. Having a lot of grasshoppers helps, they love devouring them.

I used to exterminate them with a gasburner because I dislike them.

take them at least 1km away and make sure the new meadow fits their needs. Anyway, if there's not an existing population at the new meadow as well, chances are low they will produce sacs as males are not yet ready.

thanks

interesting.. why should it be at least one kilometer?
Also, when are the males ready?
I thought that they produce egg sacs in August/September?

New anon.
Time is still good for eggs, if a male can find them.
Getting an orb weaver to "stay" is a challenge though. But if theres food theres a good chance.

I always catch a moth or grasshopper and throw them into webs when I find them, just to make sure they're healthy.

thank you
but how do I get them to stay?
I doubt that they build a net instantly when I put them in a suitable, new space?

But food should not be a problem, I have many bees, flies, grasshoppers and butterlies around
