Frick! That looks way too much like a spider for me, like something from The Mist....

It is a spider, and it looks like you caught her with her egg sack in tow!

Hey great find! I'm not too happy that she may be eating my eastern swallowtails or bees but she can have the rest of the abundant insects Wink

Here in Wisconsin we have hay spiders.They are about nickel size,black and hairy.They have the coolest florescent Aztec looking markings on their back.

Ick! ACK!! That is one truly terrifying looking creature...and the egg sack is certainly not helping her cause, in my opinion....BLECH!!!
