    Spider ID needed; found in NE Oklahoma
    Cross posting this in hopes of finding someone that can net me an ID.
    ---

    I've been attempting to find an ID on this spider I found, the only thing I've been able to find is that it might be a wolf spider of some sort, based on the eye pattern. I found him/her about a month ago when I was coming inside, prior to a freeze. S/he has been happily living on a diet of crickets that I raise for my lizards. On to the pictures:

    Not an overly good picture, but it shows off the patterning on the underside.

    Judging by the shape on the fore legs around the mouth, I want to say it's a male, but the size throws me off; from leg tip to leg tip, I'd put it at about a half dollar size.

    And finally, the back side. Only 7 legs, I found it that way.

    Eye set is the following: two prominent, large eyes on top of a row of considerably smaller eyes.

    I can provide additional information if needed.

    ...Because I find invertebrates fascinating? It isn't venomous, so no need to worry.

    ..Yes I know. I meant in the sense of being harmful such as a black widow or brown recluse.

    Is that a Brown Recluse?

    Because some people like spiders :P Anyways I had a HUGE wolf spider that I caught, it was literally as big as my hand if not bigger and i'm 6'1. Had her for a couple months feeding on live crickets when I still had my scorpions. I caught another smaller one, thought if it was a male she could either have a boyfriend or a meal, didn't care either way. Check on them the next day and the smaller one (1/6 of her size) had killed her. I was shocked.

    Hah. This thing could eat recluses for breakfast. It has no issue in subduing a large cricket.
