Gnaphosidae - Drassodes neglectus - Female
Marblehead, Massachusetts, USA
August 14, 2004
Found in beach margin ( i.e. grass, beach stone, and soil ) under stones. Seems to be common in marshland too. I have only seen it there under stones. Male is 9mm. Females 14mm. Females recently seen with spiderlings in silk enclosure, beneath stone. I will not image. They were disturbed by overturning stones. Nocturnal. I believe I have seen the male once long ago. It is considerably smaller and darker.

This female kinda reminded me of the female in this pairing:

I erred
This is a small female as it turns out. This late in the season I was unable to locate the male. I goofed.
