That sort of sounds like a writing spider's egg sack. They're brown and round, made of and suspended by spider silk, and they have a little point on the top, sort of like a teardrop.
ohkelly Reviewed by ohkelly on . ok someone's bound to know what this was.... didn't take pics but you probably wouldn't have been able to see it anyway.... the wife could barely see it... took her nearly a full minute to spot it evenw ith me pointing right at it... it looked like a spider's egg sack.... plastered to the cieling.... but it was the size of a golf ball... it also contained no baby spiders or bug carcasses.... it was perfectly cylindrical.. any ideas?
