male Hobo - Eratigena agrestis - Male
Thompson Falls, Sanders County, Montana, USA
August 17, 2011
Size: 15 mm
Voucher specimen. Spider has been ID'd by Rod Crawford using microscope.

I found several of these in the basement bathroom while we were there. Any time one of the kids left a towel on the floor I found at least one Hobo... and sometimes I found two when I picked it up again. There must be a lot of them down there because I was picking up the towel the same day it was left on the floor.
