Comments & ID Thoughts
I’m wondering what this spider is, Wood Spider? I think it hitched a ride on me outside from my kitchen. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Now that I’ve done some research – it looked a lot like a Trachelas tranquillus (Broad-faced Sac Spider) before accidentally ending up underneath my foot. I didn’t have shoes on, thought I felt something on my right ankle. Unfortunately amidst looking for it at 04:00CST I stepped on it.
I can’t tell, that spider is totaled. I’ve done that mishap too. And just yesterday, I picked up a Woolly Bear Caterpillar to keep my oafish Lab mix from stepping on it. Unfortunately she was watching me move it to a safer spot. When I looked away she had a quick fuzzy snack. That couldn’t have felt good going down her esophagus, but she moved right on to chewing thorny old raspberry canes.
