I thought it as a hornets nest. Made of mud or clay. I crushed it and there were about ten baby green spiders. I have no idea about what it is. Has anyone ever encountered this type of spider.

Mud daubers sting spiders and bring them back to their nest.
The sting paralyzes the spiders but does not kill them.
The wasps then lays hers egg on the spider.
Maybe one of the spiders was carrying some of her eggs which hatched.

Thank you so much for this information! We had the same thing this week above our back door. We knocked it down thinking it was a hornet's nest and found about 5 light green spiders not moving. We thought maybe it was a spider's nest of some sort and the spiders were babies. Sorry to your previous fan.....we did kill them.

Certain wasps, including mud-daubers and organ-pipe wasps stock their nest cylinders with spiders or caterpillars to be food for the wasp babies after they hatch. If the spiders you found were all paralyzed, that's what it was.

some fears are healthful!!! merely kidding, i like the assumption of spraying some sturdy trojan horse Killer. that is going to avert them from coming back. Spray it everywhere in the nests, bugs themselves, and the partitions outdoors in the direction of the ceiling. do no longer undertaking, maximum of them will drop ineffective on touch and those that don't will fly away. They in many cases won't sting you in case you spray them. via the way, the stings harm, yet they don't seem to be that undesirable. in specific cases that is okay to get stung, reason it toughens you up a sprint so which you is merely no longer a wimp (i'm no longer calling you a wimp, i'm merely saying). It won't kill you in case you get stung. I have been given stung 21 cases via hornets some summers in the past, and that i replaced into in discomfort, yet it wasn't as undesirable as i presumed it may be :)

wellllllll.....supposedly its supposed to be food for baby wasp pupae(if the spiders were paralyzed) , but it might have been some spiders trying to find shelter. i hope you didnt kill the spiders XDbut if you didnt kill them, well lets just say they have a 0.000000000000000001% chance to find a home. i hope you feel bad about it.
