She was guarding her egg sac on the underside of a lawn chair I had set under a willow tree in a field of tall grass and mixed vegetation.

Nice find! Are they very common there? I wonder what the range is for this species.

I see them every now and then, but am not sure how common they are. I'd say I come across at least half a dozen or so each season, but I haven't yet found a male. That's on my wish list.
