Same Size and Behavior as Large Wolf Spiders
This spider was originally crawling across our slate floor last night before we took it outside and took a picture of it. It was about the size of a large wolf spider but much darker than the wolf spiders that we usually see.

 
Not wolf spider.
This is a male mygalomorph of some kind, probably one of the trapdoor spiders.

 
This is a spider I found before!
I found this type of spider before! I finally caught the two that I saw, but I wasn't able to get good pictures. But I did find a small parasite on the bottom of them that I will post shortly.
