Field Notes

Description:

Ok, so I think this is just a common house spider; however, I'm interested to see if anything happens with that egg sac. If you go back to the micro shots of the eggs a few months ago... this spider was the closest spider to those potential mantidfly larvae. So I'm waiting for this to happen: " If by some minor miracle the larval mantidfly makes it to the Holy Land - a spider nest - it will then hop off and ensconce itself with the arachnid eggs. There it will morph into a grublike form and feed on the spider's eggs, eventually pupating and transforming to the strange adult insect

Habitat:

west central georgia
