SpidersSpider O Door
My daughter found this long-legged fellow on the bottom corner of our garage door. Can you tell me the name of this spider please? This specimen is about 3 inches from tip of front legs to the tip of the rear legs.

hi Jeff,
This is a Nursery Web Spider in the genus Pisaurina. Research on BugGuide leads us to believe it is Pisaurina dubia. Interestingly, in the past several days we received another request for the identification of this spider, but we are so busy we put the email on the back burner. Sadly, we believe it has fallen behind the stove and we never had a chance to respond to the querant. Our workload and the vast numbers of identification requests we receive prevent us from answering but a fraction and posting even fewer. Thanks for your wonderful contribution.
