Found these tiny funnel weavers yesterday. I've named them Muffin and Cupcake. I'm guessing they're adults since Cupcake (the one in the second photo) looks like it might be a gravid female.

As cute as they are, I'm just going to leave them alone because of how tiny and fast they are.

When asking for IDs you should include what state you’re i , however, agelenidae all look a lot alike and very few can be identified from photos like these. Usually the mating organs need to be looked at under a microscope, these photos are not diagnostic enough to identify past Agelenidae

I'm in Connecticut. Their bodies are about 1/4 or less in length. That's as much info as I have. Thank you!
