Comments & ID Thoughts
Found her skittering on the deck behind a plant pot outside my grandparents cabin. No clue what is. Seemed too dark for a grass spider.

- Attributes:
After comparing the spider to some of the other identified species, my preliminary guess is a female Amaurobius Ferox (Black Lace Weaver).
It was about the size of a Nickel in width (including the leg diameter).
Sorry I could get a better shot of the specimen. I tried adjusting the lighting slightly in an attempt to enhance any needed details. I hope it’s enough.
