Mouse spider???? - Tigrosa aspersa

Mouse spider???? - Tigrosa aspersa
Fredericksburg pa, Pennsylvania, USA
June 20, 2013
Size: 2 inches
I thought it might be a trap door spider but there is no "door" on the hole in the ground. It comes out during the day and just hangs out at the opening. Very shy.

Wolf spider
Thank you. I didn't know wolf spiders lived in burrows outside. I usually get large spiders in the house that do not have as fat of a body as this one. I thought they were wolf spiders. But this one does have that stripe in the head too. Thanks again ,
