Not quite two weeks later, my monster spider seems a bit deflated. That's quite an egg sac she's guarding.

I haven't been able to ID this lovely lady, but she's about the size of a typical orchard spider. She's pulled together some leaves on a jewel weed plant and made herself a cozy little home. edit: It's a Nursery Web Spider, and there are two lovely ladies! Update coming soon...
