The species' cephalothorax has two dark stripes. The abdomen have one stripe of the same color. Other parts of the spider is yellow. The females are larger then males, and have a body lengh of about an inch, while the males body lengh comes as a half of that.

Notes:
Upon closer inspection (zooming in on the photo), it appears as though these eggs have hatched inside the sac and the babies are very close to climbing out and onto the mother's abdomen.
