Wolf or Grass Spider - Pisaurina mira
Red Hook, Dutchess County, New York, USA

I thought this was a Wolf spider or a Grass spider but I've look at the uploads for these types of Spiders and can't find the right label.

thanks for the ID Andy. Every ID confirmation helps, the field is so enormous and I'm just a lover of the diversity in the insect world.
