Found on our driveway.

Notes:

I am guessing at the actual one. Will have to find another and convince it to let me look at its bits for the particulars found on bugguide.net ;)

Thanks, Jakubko! I think you are right. Hadn't noticed the "smile" before but now it is all I can see. LOL!

WOW! This one looks like a wolf spider, maybe Hogna or Tigrosa. I was looking at the detail and was surprised to find a smile on the abdomen in photo one.
