    or perhaps regular wolf spider

    Nope, easily exluded by what you can see in the pictures, by the eyes. The entire cephalothorax region is wrong for a wolf spider. I was first stuck on Gnaphosidae.

    And your picture was brilliant. You won’t believe the shitty pictures some people expect you to give an ID from. And you gave a proper size (though we prefere body lenght over leg span and centimetres) and a location.

    This post was perfect. Even got the “oh a brown spider, must be a brown recluse” comment …
