Caught one in the house today.
I caught one in the house today so I could "relocate" it to the rockery outside, but I damaged one of it's legs. Does it have a good chance of recovery?

Moved
Moved from ID Request. I agree with Jimmy, this looks like a grass spider in Agelenopsis.

Grass spider
This is a funnel web weaver spider, more commonly known as a grass spider. Grass spiders are within the genus Agelenopsis...the species however, is hard to tell. Possibly A. aperta or A. pennsylvanica
