Hey Leanne the 'Two tailed spiders' make these.

Hi Leanne, just came across something else ... Do a web search for "net casting spider egg" and see what images you come up with. Cheers Andrea

I remember yours now Andrea! It was so beautiful! Thank you for the reminder & a place to start looking :)

Hi Leanne, I found a similar egg case (black and white in colour, on a long thread attached to a branchlet) and we hatched it out to an Ichneumon wasp. That's a place to start anyway. Cheers Andrea
