Comments & ID Thoughts
These two photos of the same spider are an Agelenidae family spider, of which is completely new to me. On pine trees I kept noticing this funnel web spider in its funnel web. I knew right-of-way hand it wasn't the Agelenopsis or Barranopsis gemera of which I have run into. I found about 4 or 5 of these in funnel webs in pine trees and on the side of banks.

Dolomedes sp. I’m confused! BugGuide has a “fibriatus group” below genus level, no taxon. I guess D. fimbriatus isn’t a species anymore. https://bugguide.net/node/view/2028 I’ll ask them to explain it to me. For now, I don’t know what to call this one.
I put a question into the BugGuide forums to learn more about this. Fimbriatus isn’t even an American spevies.
Oh, sorry! This isn’t Dolomedes! I’m in a migraine and I guess I shouldn’t try to ID when I’m like this. 😉
Lol! Thanks for the information. I’m going to look into it more
