I don't have the lesser idea about it!

This nest sizes 2-3 cm and was in Monegros region, Aragon, Spain, in steppe-lands near wheat fields.

A cocoon with a parasitized nymph?
A laying parasitized of spider? :)

Thanks for the answer Cthirion!

But I thinks that is not parasitized, the egg-holes are too much geometric, I think is a true neste, but I don't know what type of insect can make it.

Seek among the parasites of the egg in a nest of spider!

Then, ypu are sure that are parasites?

It looks very strange to be an spider nest parasitized, it haven't spider webs. And the eggs are so geometric...

The eggsof the spider can be geometrical with the parasite inside!

OK... can be it... although all spider nest that I've seen had the eggs widespread, I'll show this photo to a friend specialist in spiders...
