Yes, Lou, you're correct. It is probably a gnaphosid. I knew it was a spider egg case but my advancing age wouldn't let me remember which one.

While P. audax can be very commonly encountered species, it does not produce a sac that looks like this. The egg sac looks like it belongs to a corinnid or gnaphosid spider. The older literature would list many of the corinnid species as belonging to the family Clubionidae. Hi Ingrid Neuman, RISD Museum of Art. Are you able to collect the egg sac and send it over so I can examine it, take out the exuviae within. Would be a problem if they were infertile eggs, however? Lou Louis N. Sorkin, B.C.E.

The casing or "home" was discovered in a recess within a wooden sculpture believed to be composed of Cryptomeria wood. Any suggestions would be most welcome.
