Field Notes

Description:

The diameter, including the legs, was about 2.25 inches.

Habitat:

Spotted near a faucet in a sop sink in an outbuilding.

Notes:

Fishing spider perhaps based upon it's location? The picture isn't entirely clear, but I didn't notice any eyes being obviously larger. It still could be a wolf spider I guess.
