  • Found this critter wandering around at work.
  • Got out my trusty Bug Transport Vessel, and coaxed it into taking a ride.
  • Before transporting it outside and releasing it, I snapped some pictures.
  • Later, I looked into identifying the type of spider I had safely relocated outdoors.
  • Based on a few sources, I concluded this was indeed a Hobo Spider.<br /> <br /> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hobo_spider">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hobo_spider</a><br /> <a href="http://www.puyallup.wsu.edu/plantclinic/resources/pdf/pls116hobospider.pdf">http://www.puyallup.wsu.edu/plantclinic/resources/pdf/pls116hobospider.pdf</a><br /> <a href="http://www.termite.com/spider-identification.html#hobo">http://www.termite.com/spider-identification.html#hobo</a>
  • Naturally, I was not about to examine the reproductive organs of the critter (it's not polite).
  • However, based on the other descriptors, I am reasonably sure this is, in fact, a Hobo Spider.
  • Regardless, it was an interesting specimen.
  • If anyone has further information to let me know it was not a Hobo Spider, please let me know.
