Outdoor spider northeastern Maryland - Pisaurina mira
Joppa, Hardord County, Maryland, USA
October 8, 2007
Size: ~ 1/2 inch
Is this a funnel weaver? It looks a little too thin and there are no spinnerets visible.
This one is much different then the spider I saw in my basement a few days ago http://bugguide.net/node/view/150106/bgimage

Not funnel weaver.
This spider is a nursery web spider in the genus Pisaurina. It is probably a juvenile, as adults are quite large.
