I can say with confidence that this isn't P. phalangioides. Furthermore, it's not even a spider, it's a harvestman, which is in a different order entirely.
The general public has given them the same common name, so there is plenty of confusion.
If you could at least change the ID to say Opiliones, that would be nice. This photo is not sufficient to provide any more specific of an ID.
Now that you mention it, I believe it is D. scriptus. I've only seen D. tenebrosus , so I assumed it was just a special specimen.
Thanks for speaking up, otherwise I probably wouldn't have re-evaluated my ID, haha.
I corrected the info already. Take care and post more photos, Machi!
This pretty female poses you no absolutely no harm. She's only dangerous to bug-sized creatures. It's best to leave her in peace and let her do her job, which is keep the nasty insects away.
This is the same species as your other spotting, but for it to have that much white on the carapace/abdomen is uncommon. You're very lucky to have seen and photographed it.
It's impossible for this to be Maevia inclemens. This is Platycryptus undatus, I assure you. Check the reference for more info and change your identification, if you don't mind.
This is not Rabidosa, nor is it a wolf spider, as the only Lycosid genus that spins funnel webs is Sosippus.
This is a true funnel weaver in the Agelenidae family. The genus is most likely Agelenopsis. See the ID suggestion for more info, and please update the spotting info.
This certainly isn't a wolf spider. James' ID is totally wrong. Please remove it.
On a more respectful note, this is not P. undatus, ForestDragon.
People who aren't reasonably experienced with spider identification shouldn't be submitting incorrect and misleading IDs. It's just not right.
A wolf spider and a jumping spider are very different. This is the latter type, so do fix the title. Also, you can go ahead and get rid of the "Notes" section since you now have the ID.
Yes pamsai, Lyssomanes is a jumping spider genus. I bet that's what this is, because no other salticid even remotely resembles it.
This is a lycosid and not an agelenid, due to the absence of elongated spinnerets. I do believe it is a Hogna, though I can't say which species.
