Sphodros niger - Green Lane, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, USA June 9, 2020
This spider was wandering in our yard. We live in a wooded area. My Dad often told me they wander in early June after a rainy spell to find a female - I haven't been able to find one for 25 years and my cat was pointing him out like a spaniel! 8:00 AM, 78 deg. F, sunny, after a few days of rain and damp. I've tried to show palp and eye images (not much success as it was running around the bowl), and to show the spinnerettes and general body details. I believe this to be a good ID, but I'm a rank amateur so am not counting on that. Not a professional photographer, either.
