Questions about grass spider aka Agelenopsis

[Arachnid Hunter]

How big do grass spider aka Agelenopsis get? Can someone please tell me also here’s a picture of it. Also is it a grass spider?

Looks like some kind of agelenopid to be sure. Most species don't get bigger than 3/4"-1" in leg span as adults. Some can reach to about 1.5" from what I've seen here in California though.

Thanks,

All depends on species as Arthroverts said. Telling them apart though is not easy unless you are familiar reading scientific papers and looking at their naughty bits under a microscope. Here in NC some species only get about 1/2” while another common one (Agelenopsis naevia) gets to around 2-2.5” in leg span. Just going to have to wait and see how big it gets!

One species around here, Thailand, gets up around 2 inch LS, possibly more. They make some nicely large webs.I went back once to accurately measure the largest web I have yet seen at 39 inches at the widest.
