怎样认出它

Adults have a flat, brown body about 2.2 to 2.8 cm long.1
Leg span is about 7 to 10 cm.1
The area just in front of the eyes is cream or yellowish.1
A wide band behind the eyes is usually tan in females and cream in males.1
The body is not very hairy, but the legs have hairs (setae), each marked with a black dot.1

常被误认为： In Bermuda, where most are found indoors, it is often called a house spider, which may be confused with the southern house spider. It is sometimes called a wolf spider, which should not be confused with the true wolf spiders of the family Lycosidae.1
