Comments & ID Thoughts
this is the same kind, probably, as my last picture (they hung out together).... again, no web and rather fast, not reacting to light nor motion but to air (blowing at it makes it move). found it in the doorframe so i guess that counts as outdoors. its companion (see my first picture) was a tad darker and fatter, someone suggested they might be a couple who just mated and the other one was fat bc it was carrying eggs? idk

Hi. For the defined herringbone pattern, no variation in leg colors or banding, I look to Eratigena genus.t The very long scrawny legs are common with Eratigena atrica, your native sort. The Eratigena agrestis is not so big, not so lanky, still quick though. Tegenaria species have a more mottled pattern and more often some banding or gradient color on legs. Your poor spider seems to have lost a leg. These two genus of funnel weavers seem to be the more docile, not aggressive at all and quite harmless. http://www.uksafari.com/housespiders.htm ( this includes our hobo spiders here in the US,… Read more »
