funnel weaver? - Trochosa
Charleston, Orleans County, Vermont, USA
April 10, 2017
small spider found in a student's home. She prevented her dad and brother from killing it, and they then made a habitat for it so she could bring it to school for photos. The kids now let spiders walk on their hands and arms! It looks like a funnel weaver to us, but we find spider ID baffling. You can see eyes in these photos. Abdomen is whitish underneath in the photos. Sometimes I think I see palps sometimes I don't.

Female
This looks like a female in the genus Trochosa, but I'm not sure of the species.

thank you for confirming gend
thank you for confirming gender, too. The kids were thrilled to hear it was a wolf spider. They have a special love of them (because of the name, I think).

wow. thank you! they'll be happy to hear that. But they'll want to keep it to see if there will be babies. :-(
