Found this lovely lady behind the garden shed where she was sitting next to lunch. By the looks those can't be too far away from hatching.

Interesting capture, can’t imagine they get much sustenance from ants.

I assume that it was eaten by the spider, first time I have seen a Daddy Long Legs eat one.

They are large ants, about 30mm long
