The Giant Tasmanian Cave Spider (Hickmania troglodytes)

This female builds a beautiful egg sac, made of tightly-woven silk, usually about 4 centimetres high and about 2.5 centimetres across. This is suspended from a thread in a sheltered area in the cave. Inside the egg sac, the eggs develop in an 'interior sac' that is separated from the external sac. Scientists have described this as 'Thermos-like' as there is an insulated area between the interior and exterior walls that protects the eggs and young spiderlings from changes in the outside temperature.
The spiderlings emerge from the egg sac about 8-10 months after the eggs are laid. This is much longer than the usual 4-8 weeks for spider eggs to hatch. Tasmanian Cave Spiders are thought to live for many years; very unusual for spiders and are only found in Tasmania.
