Moved
Moved from Wolf Spiders -> to family Miturgidae, genus Syspira, based on general habitus/appearance of spider, especially the carapace shape and pattern, as well as the single eye that's visible as a tiny black speck -- it's right where we would expect one to show in Syspira.

Moved
Moved from ID Request.
To increase your chances of getting an ID on this, crop the image so that the spider fills the frame. You can do this by clicking "edit" and submitting the new image. Only you and the editors can see the full-sized image.

Size please
How big was this guy? If he was less than a centimeter, i am almost positive it is a pardosa. If about an inch, he is a hogna or geolycosa.

It was about 2 cm in body length, so nearly an inch. Thanks for your help!

Awesome hobby.

You can find some good stuff that way. I found a Hololepta down in Temporal Gulch a couple of years ago under a dry pat.

Beware of scorpions though.

I was actually looking for Pheidole and Solenopsis, but came across a lot of other things.

We came across some of those by the way: Unidentified Scorpion
