Geolycosa rafaelana

Comments & ID Thoughts

This guy was full black in color. He was in the corner of the wall at the entry way to my house. I have found many black widows, a brown widow, and several brown recluse at this house as well. I saw what I am pretty sure was the same species of spider last year of this same guy here. I would like to know what this is that I have.
