Haplodrassus hiemalis with egg sac
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.
