Unusual spider burrow - Schizocosa - Female
Russian Ridge OSP, San Mateo County, California, USA
September 24, 2012
Later, the "hatch" was moved to the left side, and the spider was visible. In this image, the eyes that weren't visible in the original photo because of the "hatch" are now visible. And I couldn't see them, but my hiking partners did--20-30 babies 1-2mm body length covered her back. I think one is just visible above her PLE.

Unusual wolf spider burrow
Very cool. Do you think that spider went in there and ate the wasps? There are usually only one or two on the nest when it's first getting started.

I think
it's more likely that it found one of those small empty nests, or part of one.
