It's my understanding that Trochosa terricola and Trochosa ruricola are pretty indistinguishable from each other in a dorsal view photo. I am no expert on these, but that's what I've heard from others who've worked with the descriptions.Trochosa terricola
Please keep snapping photosHey here's another spider.

Any idea what species it is?It is pretty nice pattern and colour.
I'm looking into it.Any idea what species it is?
Likely Eratigena atrica, but a ventral shot would confirm the species. (Eratigena agrestis can look similar.)I'm looking into it.
Anybody out there have an idea of the species?
edit: I think its the invasive European Giant House spider.
Thank you for the info. I will try to get a ventral pic next week. Theres plenty of specimens there.Likely Eratigena atrica, but a ventral shot would confirm the species. (Eratigena agrestis can look similar.)
Both are native to Europe, but they aren't medically significant despite the B.S. about hobo spiders.
