Thank you catgrin, I will update this shortly. I need Internet Explorer to do editing. Chrome only allows me to upload pic. So I cannot edit from home. I really appreciate the trouble you took for me. Many, many thanks.

This one wasn't easy to find! The Naturia link shows both light and dark coloration. EOL only shows the dark (which is apparently their alarm coloring), so I wanted to be sure you had that reference. It also describes egg sacs matching your spider.

Here's another picture.
