I don't know which species of Tegenaria these are, but they all have the long spinnerets which identify members of the family Agelenidae. One of the members of this family is Tegenaria agrestis or "Hobo Spider." This species is not native to North America, but was introduced from Europe. It is considered somewhat dangerous, causing necrotic tissue loss. Apparently, it can't be identified from a description or picture alone, since it is nearly identical to related species, including the European House Spider, Tegenaria gigantea. It needs to be identified using a microscope. |
