Found in my basement, what is he ?

[Baconator]

So I found this guy (or girl) in my basement and was wondering if anyone has an idea what it is. I was thinking Wolf but then it made a web. It is really cool and loves eating moths and horn worms. I am in Ohio and I think it might be a House Funnel Weaver. Sorry my camera camera is not that great.

Definitely some house spider or barn funnel weaver. Pretty vicious in my experience keeping them.

It reminds me of a hacklemesh weaver. Well I think that's what those spiders are... I had one of those and it was the most terrifying spider in my collection (at the time I only had 3 ). It later committed suicide by somehow getting out and while I was trying to grab it, it ran in my Hogna lenta enclosure and I think you can guess what happened next

Agelenidae.

 

[Ceymann]

Tegenaria sp. would be my guess

 

[Richard McJimsey]

Tegenaria sp. would be my guess

Or likely Eratigena.

 

[Ceymann]

Or likely Eratigena.

Possible as well, but didn't most the species of the Eratigena genus get moved over to Tegenaria ?

 

[Richard McJimsey]

Other way around.

 

[Ceymann]

Other way around.

Ah, Gotcha. Well than I guess you are probably right about it being in the eratigena genus then. I saw the pattern on the abdomen and leggyness and tegenaria instantly came to mind.

Tegenaria sp.
