'Q' (Question)  All summer, I caught grasshoppers for my "Ladder Spider". It thrived all season. At the first frost, he was on the ground dead. Is this natural? I have an egg sac he left in the flowers. 

'A' (Answer)  Garden spiders are wonderful additions to the home garden, since they eat many other insects. They last for only one season, but she laid her eggs so you should have more next season.
