User's notes

Noticed a hole in the ground with a funnel-type web, upon closer inspection I saw a spider with an egg sac. watched it for a while and it put the egg sac down and came up the hole, from what I could see it looked like a huntsman

I don't believe it is a species of Huntsman, more likely a type of Wolf Spider.
