It's probaby Thanatus vulgaris...

a common "pest" species that's notorious for winding up in cricket cages... Martin Huber (www.spiderpix.com) identified this arachnid for me and others...



I'll see if I can suss out the thread for ye, Fred Flintstone!;)


I recommend doing a Google search on the topic of US spiders, and seeing what you come up with<add it to your faves, yeah?>

And, here's the thread where Martin identified the T. vulgaris:

Wow Johns your a genus! That is a T. vulgaris. She made a egg sac in her new encloser, and is now gaurding it. Time to break out the micro mesh in case it hatches. Thanks for your help.:)
