Magnificent Bolas Spider

I snapped these two pictures out in the yard today, and initially couldn't identify the spider and sac. On the net, I found that the spider is called the "Magnificent bolas spider", and the picture below is one of it's egg sacs. For more information, visit the USQ's spider ID chart.
