This spider looks like Anelosimus crassipes from Korea and Japan and Southeast Asia except for the suggested size (ours is a little smaller). They have been observed laying in July, some of these specimens with egg sacs they were carrying, have slimmed down. The others (larger, fatter) probably have not laid eggs yet. The males have fatter femurs. Ingi Agnarrson said this is not Anelosimus crassipes but concedes it has much in common with that larger species.
