Dear Bugman,
My dad found this spider at his work, and asked me to help him identify it. So here I am. It was found in an industrial building in Southeastern, Michigan. Some have suggested it is a ‘Nursery Web’ Spider, but we haven’t been able to convince ourselves given the resources/pictures we could find. Thanks so much for all you do!

We are in 100% agreement with you that this is a Nursery Web Spider, Pisaurina mira. BugGuide is an excellent source for additional images to verify our identification.
