@MichaelMulvaney this sighting looks quite different to the other pics in sightings of Storena cyanea.
Are you sure its not Habronestes bradleyi?

I did think long and hard over this one. The spotting on the abdomen is wrong for Habronestes and the shape and black front of the head makes me think a male Storena. Also the egg case makes me think the comb footed spider family. However it is not a classic Storena appearance. I have changed back to suggestion so that @YumiCallaway and @EmmaCollins can give an opinion
