Comments & ID Thoughts

I am thinking this could be a cellar spider or a sac spider. At first I thought it could’ve been a brown recluse but I don’t think it is; however please correct me if I’m wrong! If it were to sit on a quarter it would take up the full quarter with its legs and all

Hi, the pattern on the abdomen is more faded than I’m used to seeing (probably gravid) but otherwise this looks like Lauricius hooki. Sorry I don’t have a good common name for you but it is in the family Zoropsidae which are sometimes called False Wolf Spiders.
