Thank you, BOB....would you k
Thank you, BOB....would you know what "spider" is it's prey. Also Do "spider Wasps" lay just one egg on each spider they paralyze or do some species lay multiple eggs...I am really curious about The "Tarantula wasp. I have been told they lay just one egg, equals one larva per spider and one new wasp if it survives through its pupal stage. Thank you again for your identification.

Wolf Spiders, yum!
I think that the correct subspecies for your location is Entypus unifasciatus californicus.
