Castianeira thalia - female

Castianeira thalia - Female
Hayward, Alameda County, California, USA
May 10, 2012
Size: 7mm
This spider was near the front door, inside, which sometimes happens. It's possible she hitchhiked on my pack, from Butano/Pescadero. I captured her on 5/10, and she laid an egg sac on 5/11 late at night. Here is a video of her covering up the eggs: http://youtu.be/oGc3G5Ll_5o. The egg sac/web is 11mm.
