I believe it is either a grass spider, a dark banded fishing spider (Dolomedes tenobrosus) or a rabid wolf spider (Rabidosa rabida). It definitely has characteristics of a wolf spider of some kind. It was found on a thick sheet-like web in-between a door and the side of our house. I will share more photos of it and hopefully that will help.

After more research, I’ve found it’s a Pennsylvania grass spider (agelenopsis pennsylvanica). It is commonly mistaken for a wolf spider because of it’s appearance and size, but it has it’s differences.
