What kind of spider is this
Jun 24, 2018 14:23:30 #
It appears to be a Zora pumila. Not very common and only one sighting in Texas by spider expert. I don't think that it is dangerous and the only sighting was in March, 2018.

I see spiders in my house every now and then: jumpers and sometimes a baby tarantula but I've never seen this one. I did a little research and got a bunch of wrong answers; one even said it was a wolf spider, no not hardly. So what is it?
You said you did a little research, but we're not interested in going over lots of photos. You got a lot of wrong answers. How will you know the right answer when you see it? The photo is from an Aracnoboard post of 21Nov.2006. Someone named CARattler40. No one got it there either. Wilson5097 answered your question correctly. He gets one second,me. I know a bit about spiders. He knows a bit about spiders. If you want to know more, take this info and look a bit further. THAT is the learning process. Bill

My uncle lives in Lubbock and says it is a Pisaurina mira. Also known as a Nursery Web Spider with a center line pattern. He's always been strange because he actually enjoys spiders. Must be why I don't visit him!

Nursery web spiders, Pisauidae, the Wolf spiders, Lycosidae,and Funnel spiders, Agelenidae are very similar. Nursery web spiders tend to rings on legs. Wolf spiders have a flat, vertical face ,funnel web spiders look like the one in question. Legs too short and stripe wrong, too narrow for nursery web. This is a female funnel spider.

OP would have had a definitive answer within minutes in the macro forum. Mark S knows his stuff.

According to Spider ID it looks like Anahita punctulata, Southeastern Wandering Spider.

Actually, all this speculation, and educated guess, will lead to no ID. The picture is of poor quality. You cannot see any of the characters that would allow it to be id'with any accuracy.

Maybe he is just knowledgeable, I notice that knowledgeable people get labeled as strange quite often.We are ALL strange in our own way. I am called a know it all. I understand that, considering where it comes from.And the uncle's I loved are now dead. Glad I visited them while they weren,'t.

The thread above has the ID: Genus Tibellus. A 'slender crab spider'. There are different species that look very similar, so I won't venture a more specific ID.
There are many spiders with a dark stripe on the cephalothorax, so that alone does not make a spider a brown recluse.
