Mystery Egg Cases - Mastophora cornigera
San Pedro, Los Angeles County, California, USA
December 31, 1969
Size: Largest apx, 1 CM
After cutting one open it appears these belong to spiders. There were many little crumpled exoskeletons in an interior of soft webbing. The little spherical cases were hanging from a porch beam out in plain sight. Now that I looked into the guide a little it looks like they might be from Mastophora cornigera

A very nice set of images. I just need to find an adult. At least I know what to look for now. Thanks
