Spider ID help please - Thanatus
Weatherford, Parker County, Texas, USA
March 13, 2014
Found this spider on the underside of a paper wasp nest from last Summer. The cells in the nest had webbing and what looks like some sort of possible egg case or web sac in them, which I'm also curious about, ie: could it be from this spider? All ID help appreciated.

I have a photo of the wasp nest cells, see:

Moved from ID Request. It's a cool find. I'm not sure about the webbing on the wasp cells. Let's see what the wasp people think.

Another question:
Are these poisonous?

All spiders have
venom to kill or disable it's prey,but to say it is poisonous to a human my answer would no. However each person can react differently to a spider bite.

I am not sure these would be related to this spider for sure. I have never seen a spider have eggs in separate chambers, someone else will advise you on it.
