Agelenopsis sp.
Spider found him in a complex web system in the woods at Bluff Point State Park in Connecticut.
Brown recluses do not weave webs. They hang out in dark undisturbed places like woodpiles outdoors, & in cellars & garages indoors. They are a much slenderer spider http://bugguide.net/node/view/275810
I'm pretty sure from the eye arrangements & the "hoops" on its forelegs that this is a grass spider (agelenopsis sp.) this is the closest match I could find. http://bugguide.net/node/view/437658
Hi again. This is not a brown recluse spider. I'm not sure of its identity and all I can tell at a glance is that it's a male. Please remove the scientific name and tick the box that says "Help me ID this species." The PN community will do its best to help you gain an ID for this wonderful spider. Thank you! :-)
