Agelenopsis pennsylvaniac? - Agelenopsis - Male
Wilmington, Delaware, USA
September 1, 2017
Size: No legs: ~1cm. Legs: ~1in
From looking on the internet, it seems to be Agelenopsis pennsylvaniac. Sorry about the bad quality. If not Agelenopsis pennsylvaniac, it's still a "grass spider."

Moved from Spiders.

Family Agelenidae
Genus Agelenopsis most likely. However, you cannot ID this one down to species level without analysis of the reproductive organs and cross referencing to published literature.

 
Thank you.
Thank you. I do use a book to help me with spiders but often I use the internet along with the book. This spider is male for sure, and on the little bumps (I forgot their names, but they are on the pedipalps) is what looks to be small tubes, one for each. I used the internet for those and an idea of what to look for inside of my spider book, and the book shows a pattern on the abdomen very similar to what it showed in real life. Does that help narrow it down at least a slight amount? Sorry that I'm not very good at describing things.

 
In order to ID...
...these to species level, you really actually need to dissect the spider's reproductive organs and compare them to the literature. Simply taking images of the spider like these won't be too helpful, unfortunately.
