Nursery Web Spider

Pisauridae (family) 52 genera 328 species

Description:

Small spider about 1cm in length. Has a dark stipe down its entire body. It has a very light tan color.

Habitat:

Grassy areas where it can grab onto other things like garbage cans.

Notes:

It could be a type of grass or wolf spider. They are very quick which makes me think it is an ambush predator. However it is very small too.
