That's definitely not a Hobo spider.

 

[TpleaseForMe]

Looks like a huntsman IMO but pics kinda blurry

 

[Smokehound714]

Agelenopsis.

Note the elongated abdomen.

This is why I post pics and questions on here. You guys are amazing. Thank you.

Going with huntsman as well

Nope. Agelenopsis.

 

[Hobo]

It looks less like a huntsman than it does like a hobo.

 

[The Snark]

Looks Agelenopsis. Easy enough to tell if it makes a web.

 

[BigDaddyBruce]

I didn't find it in a web, and it won't make one in the container, just some strands to try to get up and out.

Agelenopsis.

You are right

Put a few long crossed sticks in there and she will build a very nice web. She's already started one - she's sitting on it.

Will they eat in captivity?

I don't see why it wouldn't try letting it settle down for a while then try to feed it.

Ok just a few things:

huntsman? really? This spider looks nothing like a huntsman. If you aren't at least 60% sure of what it is by the genus level then I suggest don't post or at least do more research on your guess before posting.

It is an Agelenopsis like some mentioned. It ALSO has bulbous pedipalps signifying that it is a mature male. That being said it wouldn't be a surprise if this spider didn't make a web as it should be wandering around looking for a female's web right now. Not saying you should let it go but it won't have long anyway.

Took the words right out of my mouth...

I actually refer to this site because I know that my knowledge on the subject(s) in question aren't in my area of expertise or nearly as extravagant as I'd like it to be. So maybe instead of being as prudent about it, you can just assist with the problem at hand or possibly be be a bit less condescending towards the others as we are all here for the same purpose, our love of arachnids. Thank you for your opinion, it has been due noted, and I hope maybe your fowl mood was just at that particular moment instead of a crude character flaw.

Was not in a foul mood, it was just astonishing to me that someone can miss-ID to such a degree. I understand your mistake of it being a Tegenaria but those who suggested it was a species of huntsman were way too off. I agree, we are all here because of the love of arachnids (and other crawlers) and many people come here for research and info, so to newbies reading this thread they could have picked up the false information that Agelenopsis sp. are huntsman spiders. Not a very good look for a site full of knowledgeable spider people IMO.

Why can't we be friends?

It is a Huntsman! That's the new all wheel drive SUV sports model without the mudflaps and classic headlight configuration, only designed to be driven on flat dry hard surfaced roads.
JD is right and that is well stated. You can't be too thin skinned on forums as reality challenged people like myself are way too common.

 

[BigDaddyBruce]

If it helps, it's definatly not a huntsman.
