Ground spider-Gnaphosidae? - Castianeira longipalpa

Ground spider-Gnaphosidae? - Castianeira longipalpa
Pasadena, Anne Arundel County, Maryland, USA

FAST! This was at the end of a branch on my Rose of Sharon. When I steadied the branch to take a shot, it jumped to the ground. I had a hard time trying to keep it corralled. It ran under my hand and seemed to be content there so I let it sit for a minute then lifted my hand slowly and took the pic. It is the only one I could get before it darted into the grass.

Nice
looks like Castianeira longipalpa.

Ah, thanks!
