A specimen may be common but have great personal value, sorry to hear about your loss and hope you catch a excellent replacement in the near future.

You have a orb-weaver family Araneae. Spiders use their venom to subdue insects that hit the web. if you go to Youtube and type orb-weaver you can learn more and see videos of web making, a truly amazing effort for these small creatures.

The book I mentioned states butterflies were mounted between strips of mica, much like pressed flowers others were pressed into pages of books. The early meetings were in coffee houses where business was conducted.This was before 1742 when the formally created the Society of Aurelians and launched formal entomology in England.

I recently purchased a book "The Aurelian Legacy" about British Butterflies and collectors and they show some from 1692 til 1695 not terrible shape for their age. Perhaps they are the oldest on record.

Looks like a paper wasp nest, if so Polistes fuscatus.
