Agelenopsis sp.
I caught this spider wrapping up a stink bug on a tree in my backyard.
urban, city edge
I spotted this spider in my backyard. It was perfect timing as it just started to wrap up a stink bug. It kept moving fast, going in circles around it, weaving it's silk. It was hard to photograph.

Thanks Sharon, I think you're right.
Nice shots! Looking at the the eye arrangement and spinnerettes of this spider makes me think it is a Funnel Web Spider, Family Agelenidae. Possible Genus Agelenopsis, a Grass Spider. http://bugguide.net/node/view/2001/bgima...
