The spider and wasp here are the same individuals seen in Alice's images below:



The post here provides a view of the ventral side of the spider, which is of interest in narrowing down its ID.

Hogna carolinensis
I do see the black on the ventral of the "knees" as well as a darkened ventral. I will let Laura P. decide the final ID for the ventral has odd striping with orange dots that I normally don't see in H. carolinensis. Jeff Hollenbeck did have an individual with an orange ventral if I am not mistaken. Again, very nice series of pictures.

Yes...
Here's Jeff's AZ image with orange abdominal venter (but black on cephalothorax):



And per your earlier comment under the 2nd image in this series, here's an AZ image of Hogna antelucana...with black abdominal venter:



I'll look forward to what Laura P. and others have to say...as I'm fairly ignorant about arachnids at this point. Thanks for your comments.
