Herpyllus ecclesiasticus
(Eastern Parson Spider)

Comments & ID Thoughts

Pretty positive it's an Eastern Parson spider. Saw it crawling on the wall and it froze in its tracks when I yelled, making photographing it, capturing and releasing it via cup+paper method easy. It proceeded to run around in tiny circles after being let go. I guess it was confused? LOL But it looked like it was calming down as I went back inside.
