Hey guys. I found a 2 inch spider in the garage. Not sure the species although it is pretty stout. Build kind of like a Wolf spider of sorts. I was going to collect her but she keeps the garage bug free. The problem is she laid an egg sac. I don't want the babies everywhere in my garage. Should I collect the sac?

Hard to tell what it is by your description...any more clues here...from where you are at it could be anything.
How about a pic or two

Someone ID'ed it as a possible K. arizonensis.

Pretty much. I was thinking about collecting this specimen and its egg sac.
