Tigrosa aspersa
(Tiger Wolf Spider)

Comments & ID Thoughts

I have no idea what kind of spider this is. I've lived in the country for 31 years and have seen wolf spiders, tarantulas, etc, but this one was furry and black and we nudged it, it ran really fast away behind our AC unit. We didn't want to let it get in the house, but didn't want to kill it either.
